- Due to tight timing considerations, I need to be able to call some
- specific function host routines from C. Since the calls are passed in
- "packets similar to commands" I assume this is possible, however, I
- have been unable to find documentation explaining how to do this.
-
- Specifically, I need to control the NewTek Video Toaster switcher,
- which is implemented as a function host. Thus I am currently using
- their command host adapter arexx script, but this really has a
- potential of messing up my timing (two extra context switches and
- AREXX string processing which is pokey at best).
-
- I really appreciate any help, whether it is a direct answer or a
- recommendation of where to look for more information.

- thanx,
