Thanks Daniel, TDLL is interesting.
However, I don't see how it can help to solve the problem.
In a reply to Vincent you wrote:

"the whole tdll.e library is a replacement for dll.e"

My Eu code does not use 'dll.e'. The code is translated and compiled
to a DLL itself. Of course I have no influence on the way how
Total Commander calls the code in my Eu DLL.
Am I overlooking something?
