I was fairly adept at C but couldn't get the Externals SDK to compile, or to be recognized by Revolution. Finally, with some help from others I was able to start writing externals. (The so-called Externals SDK is an incomprehensible jumble of information that probably just confuses people when none of the sample code will compile.) I think a true "how-to" kit for externals would be a real benefit to the Revolution community. If I had more time, I would definitely volunteer to write the Windows part of this kit. This kit would be targeted towards people who do have at least some C/C++ experience. E-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you would like to assist me. I hope everyone understands that externals are not a "magic bullet" that takes your Transcript code and magically makes it run faster. Externals are typically written in C or C++, and these languages have none of the "user-friendliness" of Transcript. The syntax is nearly 100% different than Transcript and the code must be compiled.
