My first confusion is the name of the plugin. The documentation says
the syntax is as above, but the actual file name that gets created
when I do the install is RTwain2PDF95.RBM.
The help files with Rbase for Plugins say that the Plugin file names
should all end in .rbl. The file that was created was a .rbm. Will
both work?
I am so confused....
FWIW, previous versions of R:BASE, such as 7.6 or Turbo V-8 (now history)
would require the exact name of the Plugin to be used along with the
Plugin extension, such as .RBL.
However, for backward compatibility and migrating R:BASE applications
from 7.6 or Turbo V-8 to R:BASE eXtreme 9.1 and 9.5, you may use the
old PLUGIN syntax, or you may choose to adapt the correct Plugin name
with or without the .RBM extension. The built-in intelligence in R:BASE
eXtreme 9.1/9.5 should make the transition as smooth as possible.
When using Plugins, the key is to properly register the R:BASE eXtreme
9.5 Plugin accordingly and then place the Plugin (.RBM) file in the
same folder with R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 executable, such as RBG95_32.exe
(C:\RBTI\RBG95_32) or RBG95_64.exe (C:\RBTI\RBG95_64).
Last but not least, in a compiled application, using R:BASE Compiler
9.5, you should always embed all Plugins inside the compiled executable.
Hope that clarifies any confusion.
Have fun!
Very Best R:egards,
