linking non-libraries

Hi,

This seems similar to, but slightly different from, similar questions recently asked. I need to link winspool.drv during compilation for a tool I'm using. Plato seems to only accept .lib. How do I do that with Plato3?

Thanks, Bruce

I have tried this out and it appears to work OK. Using a Plato project, add a reference from the Project Explorer window. It will use a standard Open dialog and you will need to find winspool.drv in a Windows System(32) folder.

This appears to work OK in the sense that it is used and accepted by SLINK. I have not tried this on an program that needs the link but otherwise it is OK. If it does not work then it is a SLINK problem rather than a Plato problem.
