I could start to use version 97A, but then I would have to search for all the scripts using Network Extenders and to recompile them.
By the way, if the AddExtender and the Network functions are in a called WBC, do I need to recompile also the calling program (just for the Network Extender purpose) ?
In theory, you can use the new extenders with the old compilers. However, note that if you use the 32-bit wwnet32i.dll then you must now include: www9532i.dll or wwwnt32i.dll with your small exe's, as described below:
The WWNET32I.DLL, Win32 Basic Extender DLL, which supports the existing net[..] functions will still be distributed for backwards compatibility. However, this DLL is a "wrapper" or "shell" which calls the appropriate platform-specific extender and must be used in combination with WWW9532I.DLL or WWWNT32I.DLL.
So all you have to do to use the WWNET32I.DLL is to addextender that DLL in your WBT, e.g.,
AddExtender("WWNET32I.DLL")and Winbatch will go out on its own, to look for the appropriate corresponding DLL (either 95 or NT) for that platform.
One of these DLL's (depending on the operating system being used) will need to be available, either in the current directory, in the same directory as WWNET32I.DLL, or in a directory on the path.
Now I tried to rename the NEW DLLs and the DAT-Files into e.g. wwwnt99i.dll. But this doesn't work when I want to run a batch, which includes the NEW Version of WWNET32I.DLL over the AddExtender statement.
When I start this batch, always Dr. Watson appears and it doesn't matter which computer I try. The new wwwnt32i.dll is ok, there is no problem. Only with the WWNET32i.dll.
Most extedners can be renamed. But it does not work when you use wwnet32i.dll as it merely references the other dlls - and does not expect their names to be changed.
Either don't use it, or do AddExtender with a full path.
Is the possibility to use a whole path for the extenders a save thing? So that I take different pathes in WB96 and WB99 Scripts?
Maybe:
DirChange("c:\oldextenders") AddExtender("wwnet32i.dll")might do it.
