Looking for vendors for a specific product. Other folks find one. We need to integrate with our system. "Sure, just sign this NDA for access to our SDK". Alarm bells going off. It's going to be a Windows DLL, isn't it. It was a Windows DLL. ABORT ABORT ABORT.

At least they were nice enough to mention the DLL in the NDA itself, thus avoiding us having to sign it for nothing.

I’m a noob at Windows development. Why would a DLL be bad in this case? I thought Microsoft had memory protection now.

Good luck using it on anything that isn't Windows.

Write an adapter server that takes the DLL functions and converts it to REST or something?

Ah yes, let me deploy a dodgy Windows box (and pay for a license!) and write a bunch of Windows code just to do protocol conversion because the vendor is too incompetent or full of themselves to just document their protocol. No thanks.

Just an idea to fix your issue. No need to get angry about it.

I'm not angry with you, I'm annoyed with them!
