The DLL driver gives you the same functionality as an extended, high performance Packet Driver. However, it has a different calling convention. To overcome this problem, I wrote a DLL to Packet Driver converter, which allows you to use programs that call the Packet Driver over DLL, the driver of DEC's PCSA. The converter was written as part of a practical training job here at EUT and is currently under beta test. It will probably be released into the public domain by the end of this month, along with DLL support for KA9Q. -Harry Stox -- ============================================================================= Email: Internet: rcstack@urc.tue.nl Bitnet: rcstack1@heitue5 Computer Association STACK, Computing Centre RC 1.58, Eindhoven University of Technology, POBox 513, 5600 MB Eindhoven, Holland.
