Invalid URL in Wiki

On this page: http://www.qb64.org/wiki/DLL_Libraries, this link is invalid: http://www.[abandoned, outdated and now likely malicious qb64 dot net website - don’t go there]/gl_package.zip

It returns "The requested URL /gl_package.zip was not found on this server."

I would like to access that zip file.

Hi. That page is extremely outdated in that QB64 didn't even use OpenGL (it switched from SDL to OpenGL with version 1.0) and will be reviewed. Thanks.

About GL examples, try the ones that comes with QB64 in programs/samples/open_gl.

Thanks. My objective is find more examples of using DLLs from within QB64. DLLs are a new area for me.

I see lots of BAS files in \samples, but I'm not sure any of them deal specifically with DLL?

[FellippeHeitor]

No. I thought you wanted OpenGL.

Now I'm confused. The link to the Zip file  is in the DLL Libraries section of the Wiki, so I figured it related to that topic.

What is the specific library you're trying to use?

Hi GTC,
I have bunch of archive programs which were available on .net in my collection.
You want access to gl_package.zip? I attach it for you. :)

Thanks for the link. I'm pondering a package that facilitates sending raw data to printers via USB ports. The blurb says it's for VB, VBA and a bunch of other languages and says it uses ActiveX.

The documentation is practically non-existent in the trial version but I have determined from a DLL viewer utility that the DLL I have downloaded from their site exports these functions: DllCanUnloadNow, DllGetClassObject, DllRegisterServer, DllUnregisterServer, so I guess if QB64's support for DLLs can handle those, then I may be able to use it.

Please see my thread here: https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=1250.msg104633#msg104633

Many thanks, Ashish. I'm getting to grips with using DLLs from within QB64 and I'm not sure at this stage exactly what I want, but I'm following all suggested leads.
