The older XP SFU 3.5 applications can't call Win32 dlls directly, since the SFU and Win32 are segregated personalities atop the kernel. The newer SUA (for Vista, Windows 7, etc.) allegedly allows calls to regular Windows APIs. Our current customer that uses Windows clients doesn't want to switch from XP to newer Microsoft OSes just yet.. Thanks, -- P.J. "Josh" Rovero Vice President Sonalysts, Inc.
