"Header" files in skill and limits in dll files (fxffxf 4 U maybe :-)).

Hello everyone.

  On doing some skill jobs again and again and ... One might find it smart to do an "external" skill job with the repeated parts. And no problem here. But as in Assembler, Pascal and C one could put variables into a header file. Is it possible to make a blabla.il file without any functions or procedures, but only variable declarations ? Eg if one are using a modified code from Dave to do footprints it could be easy to place line width and such in the "header" file to have all footprints looking equal. something like :

Assy_Lines = 0.05

Silk_Lines  = 0.15

Assy_pin1_Mark_IC = Circle

Silk_pin1_Mark_IC  = Circle

Assy_pin1_Mark = 1

Silk_pin1_Mark  = 1

This little short examble is to short to show the advantage of a header file, but i hope You do understand :-).

Additionally. Is there some where a good (not the one from the home path) explanation on how to do a dll files with skills and explaning the limits in programming this way ? Eg when looking at the exambles it looks like demands are one way only, understood as You can call functions and procedures in the dll file, but from this dll file you cannot control anything Allegro ? Am i wrong ?
