I may be wrong, but I always thought of DEFINITION MODULE's as a text
interface to compiled code. If I am wrong would someone drop me a line
on how exactly you would use a compiled DEF MOD? Also, anyone who uses
FST....could you drop a line on how to use FOREIGN DEFINITION MODULES?
I am trying to interface some C graphics routines, but the compiler won't
even except the DEF MOD much yet accept the OBJ code.

Thanx
