[Zlib-devel] VB programmer

[William A. Rowe, Jr.]

Mike, you can still create the old fashioned zlib1.dll, but note
that newer builds are using 'cdecl' - the standard for the C language
API, rather than the 'stdcall' convention (also called 'pascal')
used by VB, and the Microsoft Windows API.

Suggest you use the 1.1.4 unless 1.2.x gives you something you need.
I haven't pushed up the Apache/httpd flavor distributed with the
Apache 2.0 version, just yet, but plan to with the coming release
of Apache HTTP Server 2.2 (and it's 2.1-dev releases.)  I'll drop
a note to the list once we have that migration, and you can steal
that flavor.  I expect we will build stdcall, though I haven't
made a final determination.  Stack unwinds are prettier under
stdcall :)

I am writing a program to store midi music files into a database. I can get 1.1.4 to work perfectly but 1.2.2 I can't. The docs  on the web are only for 1.1.4. What is different in 1.2.2 from 1.1.4 that Visual Basic Pro 6 won't work.
