Otherwise it will only confuse 95% of users who wants to create DLLs to use them with Harbour applications. Please remember that it's usable only when someone wants to create DLLs with code using HVM which will be used by programs written in other languages. It means that he has to know C and can write his own wrappers for functions he wants to make public. In such situation the best form for startup code is public .c file in include directory so anyone can include it in his C code with public function wrappers or edit it adding own extension to start/exit code. For sure people with such knowledge does not need binary library with above startup code to make final DLLs working. BTW I think that we should document how to use OLE interface to access HVM functions. It should be much more flexible method for most of users and it does not need any C knowledge to use it. Maybe some windows user can create OLE interface to HBNETIO RPC code? This will open door for using Harbour applications on servers with any operating systems and writing MS-Windows user interface in one of popular in MS-Windows languages. Personally I'm very interesting in such extension. Does anyone plan to create sth like that? best regards, Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
