He asked a very specific question and desired a specific answer.

He doesn't appear to be interested in any details right now; which is fine.

Hi Gang!

The reason I asked the question that way, was because I thought the answer would be "b.".

It seems to me, that being able to put one or more classes in a DLL, gives the environment a lot of flexibility, like the separate compilation of modules available in C, C++, and Fortran.

I tried approximately a million ways to do it in Aurora.

Each time the response was, paraphrasing, "ARE YOU SERIOUS?".

I would appreciate seeing how to do it in either E or Aurora.

Best wishes,
Dan.

' class declaration
CLASS MyClass
   DECLARE SayHello()
END CLASS

' class implementation
SUB MyClass::SayHello()
    PRINT "Hello World from the dll"
ENDSUB

' the export fuction
SUB Hello()
' we create an instance
MyClass mc
' and we use it
mc.SayHello()
ENDSUB
