Hello Dan,

Ah, now i understand.. :-) It hard to get the _exact_ structure of a interface 
without any example code or implementation.

I was not aware that this is possible within the C language and stdargs.h. I 
begin to like this.. ;-)

This proposed interface is ok for us. Bogdan, what do you think?

Cheers,

Henning
