One final consideration: Truth is, once you load it in P7, the package should work (at least in 32 bits, I do not think is made thinking on 64bits platforms). Both notations ends calling same primitives.
This means, if your intentions are just to play a bit and see how things work: you should not need to do the translation :) Esteban Ps: I just tried in P8 the approach to load I proposed. It throws an error but loads. > On 23 Mar 2019, at 18:22, Tomaž Turk <tomaz.t...@ef.uni-lj.si> wrote: > > I started to play with ODBC package upgrade from Pharo 4.0 to 7.0 > (http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/PharoExtras/ODBC > <http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/PharoExtras/ODBC>), more or less as an exercise. > As a smalltalk novice I stubmled to the challenge of, as it seems, an old FFI > syntax.
