Hi all,

Im trying to import functions from the BASSmod sound system using the static library, bassmod.lib. As just a test I have defined :-

<CODE>
Import "bassmod.lib"

Extern
Function BASSMOD_GetVersion:Short( ) = "BASSMOD_GetVersion@0"
End Extern

DebugLog BASSMOD_GetVersion( )
</CODE>

Now... This returns 2 and im quite content to belive that this is correct. So my question is what does the @ symbol is needed for? I had a look at the FMod topic and thats where I got it from.

Im sure that I could have found this out in the documents but I was also quite keen to make my first post here.

Also are there any guides on how to format posts in the forums? I dont have a clue how to get thoes code boxes.

Thanks
