RE: Error on compile

Yep.
The QCMDEXC api requires the command, and the length of the command you 
are sending it.  Not sure why, considering it could've figured that out 
itself, but it could be for error checking to be sure that it doesn't 
truncate what you are sending it.

RE: Error on compile






Ok,
In order to understand this a bit more....the api is requiring that I send 

as a parm the length of the cmd string?

If you bought, it was hauled by a truck - somewhere, sometime.
