Well, first of all, PB/DLL 2.0 is strictly a 16-bit language.  Trying to
call the 32-bit API strikes me as bit odd.  I have written a PB/DLL 1.0
program that I used with CA-Realizer 2.0d in both a Windows 3.1 and W95
environment.  I am currently experimenting with PB/DLL 5.0 (32-bit) and
CAR 3.0.  I haven't made much headway lately due to system problems
(with my Registry, not either programming language).
 
Aside from making sure you have your "EXTERNAL"s properly defined and
coded (i.e. matching arguments, etc.) there are no real difficulties in
using PB/DLL with Realizer.
 
If you have any more explicit questions, drop me a line, and I'll see
what I can do to help.
