John reports the 32- and 64-bit control surface DLL's are ready for
use! Now all he has to do is figure out the interface between us and
the functions the control surface library can call, and the data which
these functions return and how it should be displayed/presented to us
verbally. The concept of a control surface is the basis of the old
CakeTalking product, and it's where a large portion of the development
and testing for X3 and Platinum access will occur. In fact, many of
the things John has already worked on will be rewritten because the
control surface makes performing those functions easier and more
reliable, so there will be less actual script code needed.
