Sure I'll wait your changes. I'm studying the code right now and I don't
wanna change anything until I've gain more knowledge about the compiler.

Sure I am.

Yes, certainly I am.

I'm not sure about it. Fernando can answer these questions.

David, I suppose the main environment for all the development of the
compiler is Linux. Otherwise I would like to direct my work on the use of
MinGW under Windows. So I've look the portions of code related to it and
have made some tests.

During these tests I've discover that I can't call a DLL written in Tiny
Cobol from another Tiny Cobol program.

Please, could you shed me some light about the way TinyCobol generates code
for Cobol written DLL's using switch '-m'? It seems to me that the generated
DLL doesn't export any symbols. Am I right? How should I use he compiler in
order to do that?

Thanks in advance.
