Unfortunately VB DLLs are not that 'friendly' ... they have to be registered
in order to work. C++ DLLs can just be placed in the Plugin directory and
work.
Richard will need to use the VB Package and Deployment Wizard to create an
install that will register and install everything necessary. I think there
is a command prompt registration (regsrv32 or something like that) but don't
know much about it.

Subject: [amibroker] Re: EarningsDate() dll PLugin not Loading
The rma*.dll is in the PLUGIN folder in AB directory
but it is not loading. Tried unload reload, no luck.
Is there something I am missing? I thought AB sees
all the PLUGINS and load them automatically.
