oh cool.. give me a 5 minutes to load external library, look up the random symbol exported by it and make a call to it with random number of arguments, and expect it won't crash. Works outta box! Cool. Now serious. How about spending time writing a bindings for that library? Where you have properly organized classes/interfaces, error handling and other stuff. No takers? Seriously, if you want such kind of shitty interface, which allows you to call arbitrary function with arbitrary arguments without any argument type checking, i can write it for you. > Laurent -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.
