Marc, thanks for a quick reply!
When I load the dll by hand, I can modify and reload the dll without restarting Blackbox.
I am trying to play with dll's in preparation for the Oberon day -- the idea is to have something that is popular at CERN to be accessible from BB.
Yes, you are right, the ccall was for experiment.

I did not know that -- but that's implied by the BB interface modules of course.
Does not C/C++ (gcc etc.) produce ccall by default?

So if one runs across a source-less dll compiled with ccall, one is stuck (I have not run into one yet).
Knowledge is power :)
Cheers
Fyodor
