I am trying to call the email sending utility 'blat' with my xailer application.
When linking I get an error where it says 'blat.lib contains invalid OMF record, type 0x21 (possibly COFF)' ... ful details in attached zip.
This lib links fine with my xharbour Builder console mode applications.
Does anyone know if I need a different blat.lib & or is there a linker 'switch' to make this work.
I am at the limits of my understanding here !!

Chris

Chris,
the lib probably needs to be build with BCC instead of xHB. Therfore you
need the sources code.

blat email with Xailer ...
Chris,
sorry for this late answer.
I wrote an article in Xailer.info time ago about this same subject. See:
http://xailer.info/esp/?p=33
It is in Spanish but it will probably help you.

That error is caused by the library format. Just use the Borland one or
download the ZIP in the link above and use the DLL from Xailer.

Stephan,
Thanks for your reply,
I'm sure you are right .. I need to recompile to make a 'borland' dll ...
unfortunately thats beyond my current skills level at the moment.
It seems that Jose lalin may be able to help me with a precompiled dll .. I
hope.
Regards
Chris

blat email with Xailer ...
Hi Jose,
Thanks for the reply ...
Have looked at article & your blog and this looks just what I am looking
for.
Again I am at the limits of my knowledge in making a 'borland' blat.dll from
the original blat source
I see a comment regarding making one ....."bcc55binimplib blat.lib
blat.dll".
Do you have a 'borland' blat.dll I could have or some precise instructions
on how to make one.
Thanks in advance.

You don't have to do so. If you download it from www.blat.net you'll find
the DLL in the full folder.
> Do you have a 'borland' blat.dll I could have or some precise instructions

The DLL is independent from the compiler so you don't need any specific
Borland DLL to get it working. Just put the DLL in your folder application
and you are done.
