This is non-trivial. You might say I can do this with with REXX and Henk=

Kelder's wptools.dll so why can't I do this from C code? There are
several reasons. The major one is that WPTOOLS.DLL goes through the back=

door which means it can only support the WPS types it understands.

What you might want to look at is using Rich Walsh's RWS server

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/rws060.zip

It allows arbitrary applications access to acces arbitrary WPS services.

>file wpQueryProgDetails.obj(...,): undefined symbol _wpAllocMem_

This is to be expected and will not change.

>Here's my code for WpQueryProgDetails.c:

You need to review the WPS Programming Guide to understand why what you
are trying can't possibly work.

Not that it will help your code, but Self is a pointer to a SOMObject.
