Hi All,

I’m trying to connect to a WinXP address correction DLL using Ruby/DL,  
using some perl code as a jumping-off point  
([http://www.arcsi.net/codingguide.html#perl16](http://www.arcsi.net/codingguide.html#perl16)).

I’ve attached my current code, along with what Ruby’s seeing/doing at  
each step. I’ve been working on this for days, and can’t get the  
ZP4Correct function to return a corrected address.

What I’m looking for is someone who can help me whip up a function that  
exposes this DLL’s methods to my Ruby on Rails controller. I’ll be  
happy to pay a reasonable amount to complete this project. Please  
respond below if you’re interested, or if you can see where I’m going  
wrong.

Here’s my configuration:

- InstantRails 2.0 (RoR 2.0.2, Ruby 1.8.6 Patch Level 111)
- Windows XP

Thanks,

- Aaron
