subject: Calling MSGAPI from Pascal

Hello!


DS>> how to call the .DLL functions from within a Pascal program.

PF> All of the squish functions are called indirectly through a function 
PF> pointer.  This is not supported by the real pascal language,  but may be by 
PF> your compiler.  Is it?

Function pointers are supported.

PF> The actual calling convention is "_System",  the same
calling convention 
PF> that you use to call an OS/2 function.

The compiler takes care of that. It defines Pascal functions which
encapsulates the API calls.


regards,
        David
