Hi, I'm running Borland Pascal 5.5, unfortunately it doesn't work - it says
BEGIN expected (I guess it doesn't interpret the NEAR or FAR statements), but
upon changing, I'm getting errors about the PUBLIC calls in the OBJ file and
when compiling the OBJ ahead of time using Microsoft Link, the problem is now
an Invalid Integer or something along those lines.
The WSOCKSQB library works perfectly on my QuickBASIC installation; so I know
its not a problem with the library - just trying to figure out the proper way
of interfacing BASIC libraries with Pascal. I know it can be done, just trying
to figure out how...
The WSOCKSQB library is open-source so I could always recompile it if necessary
but I shouldn't have to do that.
