You must write the DLL in some language that supports the creation of
DLL's. In the case of TS4 or earlier, you MUST create a 16-bit DLL. This
can be done with Borland C++ (not Builder), older versions of Delphi
(Pascal), or Microsoft Visual C++ Version 1.52c (the last 16 bit VC++).
When TS5 is released, it will be 32 bit, and you will have a richer choice
of modern compilers.
You can also create a separate program (not DLL) in any language (say,
32-bit VB5) and communicate with TS via global variables (e.g., TradeLab or
Hashnums).
