If you prefer to go private...that is fine. Feel free to send a private message in reply to this post. But, I do not see any trouble continuing. Surely the boards are not overloaded if we talk about it here.

Integrating DLL's in .NET is not terribly hard really. In fact, not all that different from the way Delphi does it. There's a bit of a penalty in execution of course...but that is hardly problematic in the situation you use it in since you would not have to jump from and to managed code all the time, instead starting a process in non-managed manner and waiting till it is done. Only two jumps.
