Right, but the hard part is creating the *right* DLLs. You have to set
your linker preferences to allow mixed-case exports, support C
parameter passing (calling function cleans up the stack), and prevent
the compiler from adding an underline prefix to exports. Can Delphi
come up with this combination?

...but... that's the whole point of external libraries in rev...
