RE: Calling for API interface examples (Was: QWCRSVAL API)

[Colin Williams <Williamsc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What about allowing people to send you a single source member that uses
a particular API. 

I have a program that dumps the first 32K of a dataqueue
to  a file, parameters are data queue and entry length.
