RE: Re: [xAP] PC Port Question

Actually, a simpler wrapper is an excellent idea...

Presumably, on Windows, would simply be a DLL, and on Unix a library?

Asking people to install one common DLL between xAP applications shouldn't
be too onerous.

Or insulate the two for the time being (e.g. through simple wrapper 
API) allowing for straightforward substitution later.

PS. The source code for a simple VB xAP compliant test harness is now
