Thanks.



 JRC> Say, I visited your homepage last night.  Good selection of OS/2

 JRC> Can you gin up a simple example or point me to a FAQ on the subect? 

 JRC> Thanks!



I think all the functions must be declared MRESULT EXPENTRY.



Also in your .def file (hmm... I've heard Watcom doesn't use .def

files?) include the EXPORTS statement listing functions to be exported.



LIBRARY ptccom

DESCRIPTION 'COM Port Routines - Crown Software (c) 1995'

DATA MULTIPLE NONSHARED

EXPORTS

        Carrier

        OpenPort

        Send

        SetBaudRate

        SetBaudRateExt





Try the archives below for example code, I know one of them is an

example of how to make an external REXX dll.  Most are examples for

Watcom (by the Watcom people) and CSet (or VAC)?



They are also at hobbes and its mirrors.

 JRC> Oh, and I'm using the commandline (TShell not WPS).



I run CMD.EXE most of the time as my WPS (not pmshell.exe).  TShell uses

less memory, but with cmd.exe you can still run PM apps.
