No. I've run across several errors and things that are unclear or not
described at all.

When I asked them in early October about the release they thought it would
be out October 31. If they didn't know within 30 days that they were going
slip their schedule a couple of months, I'm not going to hold my breath.
I was also hoping to use some more advanced programming features (e.g. of
C++) than I am finding available in EasyLanguage.

I'm sorry, I'm confused. I just bought my TS4 this year and the
documentation that came with it (the UserDLLs.wri file) described these
functions. Are you suggesting that even though they are documented they
don't exist in my TS_KIT.DLL?

Right, I was just curious if Windows DLLs and Unix shared libraries
operated by the same principles.

I'm familiar with C, but are you suggesting that I can't use a C++
compiler? (even if my function prototypes match C function prototypes)
Thank you very much for your assistance,
Dave Wieringa
BTW, for anyone else reading this who my suggest TradeLab. Since yesterday
I've recieved a number of suggestions to check it out when it becomes
available, so I'm also considering that as a very viable option. Thanks.
