GCI works fine for calling C routines from Universe. At a previous employer, we used it to call our own socket libraries before IBM released their own socket functions.
The up side is that you can code some very powerful routines that run a lot faster than shelling down to run commands. The down side is that you will have to relink your code with the Universe shell each time you upgrade. Build a makefile or script to do it, because the details are easy to forget (at least they are for me.) rex > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > Patricia Wilson > Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 3:10 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [U2] GCI > > > Hello > > > > I want to hear any thoughts/words of wisdom you may have on using GCI > to call subroutines VS Just shelling out and executing a command. > Performance Issues?
