I'm working on creating a printout that needs to have embedded .pcx files. This will be in an ATE/Linux environment, so I'll be installing ashLPD on a windows client and using it to parse the gdi print file.

I guess I need to get the vic32.dll and I need to know where to put it.

Do I have to put it on the ashLPD box and then register the .dll?

You should be able to copy it from a regular A-Shell/Windows installation - it will be in the bin directory where the ashw32.exe is. And no, you don't need to register it. (ashw32 loads it and calls its functions in the "traditional" manner, rather than as a COM module, and thus it doesn't require registration.)

Okay I've done that, but it doesn't contain the image file. It just prints the GDI command.

here are the contents of the file:

//SETMAPMODE,LOENGLISH
//IMAGE,SIGS:1754821.pcx,100,600,500,800

I used Fn'To'Host$() from the soslib to convert the .pcx file path to a native path and it now works.
