I don't know C either but even when that is done, you have to understand
the entire wintab spec which involves setting up all sorts of message
procedures- there is no easy way to just get the pressure values (not
that I could see anyway). The spec is written in such a way that if you
don't know C, you haven't got a chance.

What I'm looking for is someone that can write a simple callable DLL
that returns the pressure value of the pen. I'm not even looking for it
free, I'm writing commercial software and prepared to pay. Maybe it just
can't be done !
