If the library was created from a C program, then it will probably be compatible with XBasic. There is a utility program called dllGuide that can help you determine if any particular DLL is compatible. dllGuide is a program to help in the process of preparing a third-party DLL for use by an XBasic program. • lists functions in the DLL, LIB and DEC files • analyzes function names for compatibility with XBasic, and for consistency among the different files. • has a built-in editor to allow the DEC file to be created or modified as necessary. • simplifies creation of LIB files, or rebuilding of LIB files that are not compatible with XBasic. This program will work only in Windows, and only with XBasic 6.2.0 or above.
