- Has anybody out there used the Paradox Engine DLL with Turbo Pascal for
- Windows? The documentation talks a lot about the engine DLL with Borland
- C++, but it doesn't mention TPW at all. The Pascal files on the distribution
- disk contains a file with all of the function prototypes that is nearly
- identical to the engine .h file for C, but the C version comes with a .LIB
- file that needs to be linked with your C code. What is in this .LIB file?
- Do you need to get something similar for TPW or is this .LIB file merely
- have export and external declarations? Can I just create a TPW unit with
- function prototypes declared as external that match the C function
- prototypes?
-
- Second question. I am developing a prototype and I would like to use Visual
- Basic for the user interface. Has anyone interfaced VB and the Paradox
- Engine DLL? Are there any difficulties or gotcha's?
-
- Thanks for your help.
