Yes and no. DXLink allows you to control dxui and/or dxexec from an external program. Thus, it enables you to use networks that you write in the usual way. You can run them in script mode or with the user interface. It then allows you to take advantage of either the exec or the ui in your application. DXCallModule only gives you the functionality of the modules, data model, etc. You then have to handle scheduling, memory management, etc. yourself. So, more flexibility at a cost of more work and responsibility in your code. If you just want to run dx in script mode in a very simple fashion, you could just put everything in a shell script and execute it via a system call in your program.

From my reading of the documentation, DXCallModule is a simpler way to work. Any thoughts? Ryan Minihan [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Thu, 2002-09-12 at 07:36, Gregory D Abram wrote: > > Yes.
