Heya Ted
We have done some minimal testing getting dll's to work with witango and that was in windows but what we learned is that for a dll to work with witango it has to have a specific format to it...what i mean is witango expects there to be certain function names in the dll and that's how witango communicates with it.
The kinds of functions it wants are things like (not exact function names...i forget what the exact function names are)
init
get_next_row
destroy
etc.
So if you have just some random DLL which provides some functionality you want, you'd have to make your own dll to access the other dll's functions. Either that or write a program to do the functions you want, accessing the dll and call it form a command line external action or something.

Hi,We just purchased a text summarization source code (ansi C) with compiled .dlls. The web demo that came with it uses Apache Web Server and ActiveState Perl. I would like to use the dll with Witango. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to access the dll in Witango. The dll does not appear in the Witango add object window. If not, I am going to have to take a crash course in perl.Ted Wolfley
