This question should be on the prolog@swi.psy.uva.nl mailing list. Anyway, SWI-Prolog 1.9.5 has *no* foreign interface on the Window 3.1 platform. Only the 2.x.y versions for win32 provide an interface for loading Win32 DLL files. The Unix implemention of the C-interface is much older. The conventions for writing foreign code has been stable upto version 2.1.14. The mechanisms for loading such code has been changed as operating systems evolved. The interface conventions have been changed radically (though there is a backward compatibility package that deals with most old code) in version 2.5.0. Basically, anyone considering using the foreign interface should be using SWI-Prolog 2.5.x. Regards --- Jan
