Hi Rand,

If you use the RevDatabase functions, you needn't
worry about the externals ; it has all the required
libraries and handles that for you.
If you prefer to make direct calls, I'd suggest you
try and hook up with a fellow VXCMD user via the
Valentina user mailing list.
I'm sure there are a few MetaCard-users out there who
have gone through the trial-and-error fase ;-)

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
