Like another poster on the list, we are looking at controlling a serial device (a carousel) from a pc. At the moment it runs on a unix box and we send commands to a fixed tty for the aux port of the dumb terminal. However the server is being replaced by a w2k server and the Dumb Terminal by a pc. We have VB software that has dll's and an api which can control the carousel attached to a serial port on the pc. What we'd like to do is send commands to the pc running sbclient from our application that would call the dll's. Is it possible to call client side dll's from a universe/SB program and if so how? The only way I can think of so far is to just call something like tu.launch.app and just run a vb program passing parameters in the command line but this would then have no feedback from the vb app to the server to say this has been accomplished successfully.
