Q: embedding a binary in a SKILL procedure

archive
archive over 17 years ago

... and now for something completely different...

Sure, SKILL can make a system call to execute an external program  like an .exe

But can one embed an executable binary within a SKILL procedure? Or barring that, how about  C code? This would be similar to how one can embed assembly-language statements within a C function.


TIA,

    Hi Chris,

    I haven't done any of this yet but the axlDll calls (new in 16.x) might give you this funtionality.

    Cheers, Dave

    Ah, yes these look like they'll fit the bill nicely. Thx for the heads-up.
