Maybe.

It seems that once somebody is writing an external it is easy to say  
you are on your own.

But when somebody says "I did the DLL-call thing to get a list of  
watchamacallits from the system and all I got was garbage" then it is  
hard to tell whether one has set up the call right or whether "pointer  
to unsigned long" is broken or whether the right system call is being  
made.
