Tz,
Perfect for users, especially the ability to access the built-in AFL
functions.

> Main goals are:
> 1. speed - there will be virtually no performance differences
between internal and external
> functions
> 2. simplicity -
> a) the interface is very simple, flat API-like (no COM for now).
> b) writing plugins will be as easy as adding a new function(s)
to a sample C project
> c) Installation of a plug-in will be as easy as just copying the
DLL into "Plugins" directory
> 3. tight integration with AFL engine -
> a) external functions will be available directly from
> AFL without the need to call any additional function like ExtFml.
> b) all external functions will be highlighted properly in a new
syntax coloring editor
> c) AFL engine will check types of parameters passed to the
external function
> d) ability to call-back any built-in AFL function from within
external DLL (this includes
> also calling functions from one external DLL to another)
> e) ability to overwrite built-in functions

compilers like PGPP (GNU) and

be tested if it is possible

> Visual Basic and other COM-only languages will not be supported at
this stage.
> COM-based interface is planned later (next year).
