DLL's and the TS2000i API

["marQ" <mcerar@xxxxxxxxx>]

There have been a few posts recently about custom programming with DLL's and
the TS API (see Andrew Peskins post Multiple Intantiation Problems ...)

Does anybody have any input regarding the TS2000i API for those of us who
are only familiar with EL.  For example, how well is the API documented?
How is the support from OR for the API?  What are the pitfalls, if any?

I'm also interested in knowing how to coordinate the execution of a dll from
within a TS system.  In other words, if values are passed to the dll from a
system at the completion of a bar, how do you halt the System execution
until the dll has finished processing the data?

Many thanks,
