More questions on using Randall Frank's extproc_define() [message #43750]

I posted two questions on 4/22 on using extproc_define, and after good
some advice and re-compiled code, I got extproc_define to work under
IDL 6.1.1 for the examples in the R. Frank's readme file. Now I'm
trying to use DLL's supplied by Tektronix to make VXIpnp commands
(http://www.vxipnp.org), or a more limited set, TekVISA
(http://www.tek.com/site/sw/detail/1,1059,3485,00.html), native to IDL
so I can use IDL for data acquisition. The long and short is I haven't
succeeded, don't understand why, and need to determine if it's time to
bailout.

The fundamental problem is I'm not a software developer (I probably
barely qualify as a "real" IDL programmer anymore), and to understand
my problem appears to require skills with C or VB I don't possess.
However, I know a lot of you developers could probably sort this out in
a few minutes. If anyone's interested, contact me and I'll send you
DLL's, manuals, header and definition files, etc.

You won't have a scope to talk to, but if you succeed in making any of
these commands native to IDl using extproc_define, they'll run and
should produce errors indicating the absence of any virtual GPIB
devices, or something to that effect. I'm having trouble correctly
defining the commands.

Thanks,

Darrell
