Has anyone gone through process of converting your own assembly language routines to dll (required for conversion from AREV to OpenInsight)?

<QUOTE>Anne,



Which assembly routines in particular? It will depend on their functionality as to whether you create a new DLL or merely use an existing Win32 API call.

<QUOTE>Yes, I have.



My advice is to bite the bullet and recode it in C.  The main reason for this is because you are going to have to convert it from 16-bit assembly to 32-bit assembly anyway.

<QUOTE>They are our own ASSEMBLY routines.

I have converted several from assembly to C++. Using Microsoft Visual Studio 6.00.  I can call the functions from my 32-bit C++ programs, but when trying to use them from OpenInsight I get the following error:

ENG0805 TEST, line 7. Function fnTest2dll does not exist in dynamic link library TEST2DLL.



Here is my TEST procedue:



Compile Function Test(a,b)

Declare Function fnTestdll

Declare Function fnTest2dll

Declare Function GetSystemMetrics

Declare Subroutine RowSel

i=GetSystemMetrics(22)

val=fnTest2dll()

RowSel("",252,253,"","",0,"","")



output=a:" plus ":b

Return output





Here is my Prototype Record  DLL_TEST2DLL:

TEST2DLL	

INT STDCALL fnTest2dll(VOID)

What is the actual name of your DLL file? If it is TEST2.DLL then I believe your prototype record should have TEST2 (or TEST2.DLL) instead of TEST2DLL in the first line.

<QUOTE>The name is TEST2DLL.DLL.

But I think that I know what the problem may be.  For some reason the DLL has the "decorated names" exported, so OI is not recognizing them.

I need to rewrite the DLL's so that it exports the "simple name"
