[scilab-Users] C->Scilab: Now I'm lost and need some directions

[Adrien Vogt-Schilb]

I am experiencing the same thing: being lost in the toolbox skeleton.

I also find that typing "help api_scilab" does not help me at all right 
now. And i just understood today (thanks to allan's mail) that toolboxes 
is the modern way of doing what i do with call.

For now i am still using ilib_for_link and call, because of the very 
effective help of ilib_for_link, which does provide a complete example.

If anyone happens to have some guidelines, it would be very helpfull to 
make a wiki i think.
