Thanks for your replies. I had found that Attachmate and SAS/CONNECT
only talked if I used the WHLAPI32.dll. Once I coded this and set up
the PATH variable correctly, things worked. Well, SAS/CONNECT works,
but SAS/ASSIST still only shows TCP. I'm not worried about this
though. I thought I'd seen somewhere that SAS will no longer support
EHLLAPI when version 9 is produced, so we may have to redevelop the
interface anyway.
Thanks again.
Steve Dobson.
