Yah. Until recently we exported over one hundred functions from our DLL.
Worse still the change meant writing and using a typedef for every
function.

Two years ago I (as designer/implementer) introduced four dispatcher
functions. After years of laughing at IOCTL under DOS I finally had to
acknowledge that they were onto something. At present we have plans to wipe
out the old exported functions but of course that will require changes to a
lot of our applications. I swear we'll do it this year..probably :)
