Can someone please send me a brief summary of the calling mechanism for 4D 
externals.  The distributor in Australia is pathetic and wants us to buy the
complete externals kit (ie: library of externals) just to get some doc on 
the calling mechanism (they also do lovely things like charging $60 for the
BUGFIX from 2.1 to 2.1.1).

I am a competent programmer and just need the bare info on how parameters are
passed but some source code would help if available, just to check the specs.

Thanks in Advance..
