The complaint is not valid. Borland and Microsoft compilers return FLOAT
values from functions differently. Easy Language programs use the Microsoft
method. DLL functions compiled with a Microsoft compiler can return FLOAT
values to Easy Language programs. There is no problem returning FLOAT
values via pointers in a DLL function parameter list using either compiler.
Furthermore, there is no problem using either compiler in passing pointers
to Easy Language FLOAT variables as DLL function arguments.
