Configuring BlueZone |
Chapter 5 |
HLLAPI is an acronym for High Level Language Application Program Interface. HLLAPI was developed so that external programs can be written to interact with a host session. This is accomplished by using the BlueZone emulator acting as the “middleware” between the HLLAPI application and the host session.
BlueZone is fully 32-bit WHLLAPI, EHLLAPI and EEHLLAPI compatible allowing easy migration of many custom or third-party applications used with other emulators. BlueZone HLLAPI is compatible with third party HLLAPI applications including (but not limited to) those from Shared Medical (Siemens), Neasi-Webber, Real Vision, and Decision Technology.
To support older HLLAPI applications on 32-bit systems, BlueZone also supports DOS HLLAPI and 16-bit HLLAPI conversations with 32-bit BlueZone.
BlueZone ships with the following HLLAPI DLL files:
WHLLAPI.DLL – BlueZone 32-bit HLLAPI DLL - Provides compatibility with Windows HLLAPI. Uses the DDE Server interface to communicate with the BlueZone emulator. Note that BlueZone's DDE Server Interface must be enabled in order for this DLL to work.
