Thanks Craig. I will try the above. That might do the trick for now. I realized (while on a bike ride outside), that all this would be a non-issue if all PDL methods were strictly object methods. Perhaps, the developers can think of a pragma for the next version that would enforce that. That way there would never be any methods exported, and never any collision. > > (Mobile) > > > On Sep 5, 2010, at 6:33 PM, P Kishor <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On Sun, Sep 5, 2010 at 5:31 PM, Chris Marshall <[email protected]> wrote: >>>> Hi Chris, I know you want to lead me to the answer, but I am not sure >>>> where you are pointing me to.
