Hello,

From what I read ("ANSI-C") it looks like it should compile on OS/2.
Not sure about the effort involved here... and which flavor of compiler to use preferrably.

Anyway, even if this works, it would "only" give us a DLL useable from C... right?
What would it take to create a rexx-to-HaruDLL "wrapper"... or a rexx-callable variant of the HaruDLL?

A C-dll can be used by other programming languages as well as it doesn't add mangled function names or vendor specific magic like C++ can.

We can write it as a wrapper dll or build it into the dll itself next to the exported functions visible to the user.

Hi,

okay let me ask:
Is there anyone here willing to give a try to make a rexx-callable DLL from the Haru sources?

Because if not, I would try to ask someone who I was told has done such things in the past. Alex Taylor. I don't know if he would be willing, able or simply whether he has the time to do it. I would even be willing to create another bounty for this by shifting my money from other "dead" bounties...

Cheers,
Thomas

Do ask him...

If someone else come up with the "plain" DLL, great, then I can write the REXX DLL stuff  :)

Hi Jep,

...well if it's about porting "only", I guess I should ask Paul Smedley first! :)

Will keep ypu updated, cheers,
