I found the following at: http://gis.esri.com/arcscripts/details.cfm?CFGRIDKEY=628102085


"New ShapeIO and Spatial Operations
This is a completely new and re-done version of the popular ShapeIO. ShapeIO is Visual Basic source code Classes. This version is very easy to use and is completely object oriented. ShapeIO will allow you to read and write ESRI ShapeFiles and now there is an Ishape interface which can be added to. This interface will have in the future many spatial operations that work on shapes. Anyone is more then welcome to add to this interface and I completely encourage it. I believe if everyone who uses this code would write one function for the interface we would have a very nice set of VB tools that would support ArcView. Be sure and read the documentation for the code and you need Visual Basic 5 or 6 to make use of it. I have also included an example program that will allow you to do an XY shift of a shape file. I have not removed the older version as of yet. There may be people who like that version and I will leave it up as example code. I encourage you to use this newer version. Please enjoy and add something to it. -peace K. "


Don't know if this qualifies as Free Software, but it the author (Kenneth R. McVay  mailto:rcreed at earthlink.net ) may be open to the idea.  Also, I'm not sure if ArcView is required or not.
