That's because you didn't read what I wrote. Borland doesn't offer the granularity of linker options necessary to create DLLs in the proper format in C++ Builder. Maybe they do in Delphi, but nothing you've posted says so. Or am I to take "in my experience" as meaning that you've already compiled external DLLs in Delphi that work with runrev?

Compiling to native code means limiting yourself to a single platform no matter whether it's done in an IDE or by spawning a task to an external library. It's no different in java - JNI works the same way. -- -Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
