Thanks for the response, everyone. I'll get started with the externals kit as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, as far as porting existing dlls into rev use is a little beyond me at the moment. I learned C++ on a mac system don't really know how to reference a dll. I'm not actually as experienced in c++ as I might have came across.
When you have some spare time, you might want to look at http://www.swig.org
SWIG is a mechanism for generating the "wrapper" code needed to interface scripting languages to C or C++
I have no clue how easy it would be to extend it to cover Transcript - but it might be some help (and I'm sure it will be interesting). I think this would potentially be the right long-term approach for Transcript; there is enough momentum behind SWIG for Perl and Python that many external libraries already produce the appropriate interface definition files for SWIG; being able to build Transcript interfaces that way would, I think, help to increase the availability of external libraries.
