Synopsis: Easier Method for using external dll
Description

When I wanted to include the Advantage Database Server and Virtual Print Engine client libraries written in C with an Eiffel project I was told you had to write wrappers for the header files and create an Eiffel method for each of the function calls in the library. This was and is too time consuming. Eiffel should be able to use external dlls without all this work or it should generate the required classes/methods itself. As a result the project was completed in another language.
