Re^9: Correct call for dll with Win32::API

The lack of preceding underscores on the exported names is a strong indication that the __cdecl calling convention wasn't used. It's not definitive as it could still be __fastcall, but if you follow the link to the translated PDF, you'll see that the prototypes are all similar to int WINAPI HCE300_Open (int ComPort);

You are correct. Thankyou. I reversed the meaning of the underscore in my mind (and the presence of the WINAPI in the docs stopped any alarm bell from ringing). I've updated the post above accordingly. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo.
