Hi
I encountered problem with using functions from XPPRT1 in WAA package dll. I 
don't understand
nature of my trouble. Some functions (DllInfo(), DllLoad()) can be used, but 
some (_copyfile()) can't. I can load XPPRT1.DLL using DllLoad(), but I can't 
see this library on list created by DllInfo(,6).
Do you know any solution or at least an explanation?
TIA
Marcin Stryjek.

You don't need to load this, it is already loaded by the runtime system.
Simply call the functions as you need them!

Ok, XPPRT1 is loaded, and I can use most of functions included in this dll 
but can't call _copyFile().
IsFunction("_CopyFile") returns false, calling _copyFile from debuger 
returns "function is not declared"
Thanks again for Your valuable help.

I just tried this in one of my WAA apps:


   altd()
   COPY FILE 'j:\waa1srv.cfg' TO 'j:\waa2srv.cfg'  works ok!
   _copyFile('j:\waa1srv.cfg','j:\waa3srv.cfg')    works ok!
   i := IsFunction("_copyFile")                    -> FALSE

So, you cannot use IsFunction() to see if it is available, but since it
always will be, it is pointless testing anyway.  Both the command and the
function call work perfectly.

Marcin,
You alternatively may use this dllcall.

DllCall("kernel32.dll",DLL_STDCALL, "CopyFileA",cSource, cTarget,0)
