You have to be subscribed to send messages to the list - like with
almost every other mailing list.

Subscribe... :)

Seriously, I have the mailing list on Cc, but you probably won't see
the replies unless you are subscribed.

Not me, but I don't have ACL7 anymore.  Can't you use ACL8?

Yeah.  I wonder how this could affect AllegroCL, though.

It might be that AllegroCL only really loads the DLL when it comes
across the first FFI call.

Are you sure you have the newest version of the DLL (from RDNZL
0.10.6) in the Allegro directory?  Do you have the same problems if
you use the old DLL?

Both versions of .NET should be able to co-exist peacefully.  I have
VS 2005 on my machine but I still use the DLL compiled with VS 2003
without problems.
