I still say that's not necessary. I can call all these things from a
different language that cannot possibly be using MFC.
All these calls are just calls to DLL exported routines. You can call
them from any almost any programming language capable of writing
software for Windows.
Hi Jim.
I've never written a conduit, or a DLL for that matter, so I don't have
any direct assistance to provide to Del. But he seems to be stuck on
the requirement to use a prescribed environment to get his conduit
built. I always had the idea that a Palm conduit is, really, just a
DLL, and that you simply need to build a windows DLL, in whatever
environment, that includes the appropriate functions and headers to
interpret/read/write the respective database formats, and respond to the
correct system calls. What you've said suggests that my hunches are
correct: Del could use any of a number of Win compilers (there are free
ones out there), use the info contained within the COM information that
he already has, and he's away to the races. No?
