Mitch,

I've been experimenting with external calls on DOS machines. Intuitively it
seems like this ought to be easy.  But the format of the DOS object code
completely escapes me.  I beleive that this is one of the reason that windows
created the new DLL format.  Although I can't find out what that is.

Have you had any success using DOS?

Gene
