Thanks Lars

:-)

I'd like to add one detail:

On Windows, Eloquence comes with an alternative DLL called
image3kC.dll (note the C) which implements the cdecl calling
convention. The image3k.DLL (w/o the C) uses the stdcall
calling convention which is used by the Windows OS.

I assume the DLL_CONVENTION=1 setting is not required with the
image3kC.dll (though the manual specifies the default is 1?).

The ACU Cobol -d5 compiler option (there is a similar one with
MF Cobol) is required on little endian systems (Linux on Intel
or Windows) as Eloquence uses the native byte order of the system.

We are working on an option which allows to use big endican
byte order, independend of the underlying system.


Hope this helps
Michael
