Hi, I am trying to compile and use outboard modules on Intel with Win2k
using both
the 4.0.9 cygwin release and the 4.1.1 Microsoft Visual C++ version posted
recently.
I can compile a module (well it doesn't complain) using cygwin 1.1.1
and the Makefile below. However when I go to run a net which uses the
module I get a "failed to send data to module"
message from both distributions. Snippet from mdf file I load up is also
below.
Any pointers would be appreciated (ok what I really want is a well
documented example ;-),
Simon.
