Title: Has anyone done "flat thunks"
Post by: axtens on June 26, 2007, 06:28:46 AM
This is related to my previous posting. The Clipper programmer is working in a Win98 environment. Is it anywhere in the realm of possibility to do a "flat thunk" between Clipper and Win98 via MASM32?

Get new hardware and upgrade your software.  Your risking your data integrity and reliability to hardware that's not easily supported any more.   Besides, the speed increase alone is worth it.

Hi,

For "thunking" the 16-bit part must be a windows application. Is this true for your clipper app?

Although, there are quite a few restrictions for 32-bit dlls called from 16-bit code. For example, multiple threads aren't possible then.

Btw, although it's 16-bit, it's in the wrong forum, this is for DOS questions.

And don't let yourself confuse by remarks of people who don't know what they are talking about.
