I suppose that You are absolutely right :-))

But unfortunately SWIG claims to miss Win98 support.
Did You ever here the sentence:
The software is getting slow faster than the hardware is getting fast?
This is why i stay with Win98 as long as i can.Whenever computers are
fast enough for me to run Win2000 i will have a second look to SWIG.

Thanks and best regards

I may have got this wrong but:

There is tcludp
http://wiki.tcl.tk/8493
and the
udp command from scotty ( though dated )
http://wiki.tcl.tk/220

Sorry for offending You, this was not my intention.
I just thought, that decorating a buzzword with more punctuation and
parentheses to make the things even more ununderstandable is a very
bad joke. I am still asking myself if You did this, because You
yourself do not know ffidl good enough to give more advice, or because
You like bad jokes.

I like Your sarcasm :-))
I never said that i was assigned to port the whole program to Tcl.
This was the proposal of Jan, which You called "wise words" and 100%
supported him. Maybe You have changed Your mind ? Or like to give
answers before reading question (attention:sarcasm!)?

Tcl was used to make the user interface (GUI) and it was done by my
brother, who is a beginner in Tcl _and_ in programming and he made a
real nice job in short time. Tcl is now talking to the other tasks
(the program is made from around 15 different tasks) via TCP. But as
all other tasks are talking via shared memory, i would like Tcl to use
the same channel and avoid the additional task of translating from TCP
as there are already enough tasks started. The machine is a 2KW laser
with production environment and You can burn nice holes in Your brain
and it is useable to make a tattoo as well as an industrial heater
(900 Kelvin) is useable for drying hair, the smell is similar!

The customer made no rules for the programming languages, so i was
free to choose whatever is appropriate and it was me to make the
decision for Tcl. Now don't tell me that this was bad ;-)

Best regards

What are you talking about ? What buzzword ? What punctuation ? What
parentheses ?

::ffidl::callout name {?arg_type1 ...?} return_type $address
(where $address is obtained through ::ffidl::symbol).
