VDS versions earlier than VDS 5 have a limit on the number
of external DLLs that may be used.

You can use VDSug.dll to unload these external DLLs
when no longer needed, and re-load other DLLs (or the
same ones) as you want - just use the VDS EXTERNAL
command again.

This is a code example, not a working program. Wink

Code:

rem -- load VDSug.dll --
EXTERNAL @path(%0)VDSug.dll

rem -- load kernel32 and init the needed functions --
UG DLLLOAD, 1, kernel32.dll
UG DLLINITFUNC, 1, 1, GetModuleHandleA
UG DLLINITFUNC, 1, 2, FreeLibrary

rem -- load your DLL --
%%dll_name = [dll name goes here - no path]
EXTERNAL @path(%0)%%dll_name, [key if needed]

rem -- get the dll module handle --
OPTION ERRORTRAP, t1
%%dll_handle = @ug(DLLFUNC, GetModuleHandleA, int, str:%%dll_name)
:t1
INFO dll_handle= %%dll_handle

rem -- release the dll --
OPTION ERRORTRAP, t2
%%result = @ug(DLLFUNC, FreeLibrary, int, handle:%%dll_handle)
:t2
INFO "result (non-zero if success) = "%%result

rem -- release errortrap --
OPTION ERRORTRAP

rem -- re-load the DLL (if/when needed again) --
EXTERNAL @path(%0)%%dll_name, [key if needed]

Cheers, Mac Smile
