Enter PIN DLL

The ZIP file contains PowerBASIC source code for the DLL and the demonstration program, sample icons to compile the function in the DLL and to view the included html Help file.
Enter_PIN.zip download.

Source Code

  Will compile in either PBWin 10 or PBCC 6. Some changes may be needed for older versions. The compiled DLL should work in any version, and callable in other languages.
