The specification for load-foreign-library (http://uffi.b9.com/manual/load-foreign-library.html) states that the function will return NIL if the library was not able to be loaded. Thus, the current code correctly follows the specification for this particular case. Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
