The reason for my "Am I allowed" post was that I got a duplicate resource error when linking the textfilters and wordgenerator into my module. I can't figure out a way to link using either static or dynamically loaded dlls and my guess is you're using magic (probably black).

Can you let me into the secret or is it a case you have to kill me first?

Did you use the IDE template projects for building the modules ?  If so,
then there shouldn't be anything else required.  Which resource source line
is the linker complaining about ?

I think I may have confused the issue I tried adding just the units ie

uses
 edbextmodule,
 nlhFuncs in 'nlhFuncs.pas' {EDBExternalModule1: TEDBExternalModule},
 tfHTML in '..\Text Filters\HTML-PosEx\tfHTML.pas' {EDBTextFilterModule1: TEDBTextFilterModule},
 tfRTF in '..\Text Filters\RTF\tfRTF.pas';

and I get a warning about a duplicate resource EDBTextFilterModule1 which is understandable.

I then thought of linking in the dll's and realised that I didn't know how to use what they're exporting. I'm guessing its something to do with

 CallEDBTextFilter,
 GetEDBOutputText,

But I'm not sure.

Is that the .DPR USES clause ?

I'm still puzzled as to why that would cause a duplicate resource error.
You're simply including a custom module form/unit in a different project,
which should work just fine.

Me to. You have the code for these units (in extensions), can you try it at your end? I'm using D2006.

At the end of the day, if there's no other way I can just copy the code. Its only a few hundred lines and won't be altered much.

I'll see what I can find.
