Re: porting a DLL to TS2K

[Andrew <andrew@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just had that problem today.  TS2000i is Case sensitive, so depending on
which compiler you use, you will have to account for that.  I code DLL's in
Powerbasic and they have an ALIAS option in the exporting line.  If you are
coding in C/C++ you will need to have to create a .DEF file for the exporting.

Hope this helps

Regards,

Andrew
