Hey Guys,

I have two questions. My first question is can you use a .lib in a open_dll() function. Like would this work? 

atom lib 
lib = open_dll("bullet.lib") 
 
if lib = -1 then 
    puts(1,"Cannot find bullet.lib!\n") 
    exit 
end if

What I am saying is can I use a .lib file in there instead of a .dll file.

OK now on to my 2nd question. Is there any set release date for Eu 4.0 It sounds really good and I'd really like to use it, but I don't want to use it now as it is in Alpha, so I am wondering if there is any beat or complete package that will be ready anytime soon?

  1. No. A .lib file is a library of object files. To be used, it has to be linked into other object files/libraries into an executable form, either an exe or dynamically loadable library.
  2. It looks as though we are going to have one more alpha before moving to the beta stages. We have been in alpha for a while and have gotten some good feedback. Once we move to beta, the real determing factor on how quickly we go production is going to depend on a few things:
    1. How many people will download and test the beta with us?
    2. How good of bug reports are going to be submitted?
    3. How pragmatic is everyone going to be about testing?

I hope that we will breeze through the beta cycles on a very rapid pace. Believe me, the devs are anxious to release 4.0 as well.
