Can anybody give me any information or tell me where I can find any on thunking (calling 16 bit dll's from my delphi 2.0 app). A good example would be the best.
Look at an article in The Delphi Magazine, Issue 12, August 1996 and a follow up submission in issue 13 (September 1996), this article is Copyright ? 1996
For information on The Delphi Magazine, contact Chris Frizelle on

I'd highly recommend Brian Long's articles in the Delphi Magazine - Issues 12 and 13. The article in Issue 12 will give you a good grounding in the principles needed to achieve a stable thunk directly from Delphi, and the disk supplied with issue 13 has a unit on it containing a function 'Call16BitRoutine' which you can use to call 16-bit DLLs utterly painlessly and without need for coding. It's saved me no end of time.
