BlueZone is fully 32-bit WHLLAPI and EHLLAPI 1.1 compatible
allowing easy migration to BlueZone 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.
- Advantages
- HLLAPI is a standard API supported by many software vendors.
- Disadvantages
-
- The specification can be interpreted differently from vendor to vendor causing some
incompatibilities.
- HLLAPI requires a programmer to write the application.
- The interface must be constantly polled by the HLLAPI application to get the status of
the host screen.
- For new development, the BlueZone Host Automation Object is much easier to implement,
and supports a wider range of development tools.
Note: If you intend on writing a program to interface with BlueZone via the HLLAPI interface,
the following documents are provided in the
Docs\WHLLAPI folder of the
BlueZone CD image.
