Hi,

Ką - Thanks for the ideas but both LuaPower and uLua binary distributions are Luajit/ffi based and I can't extract a usable dll to call from Lua 5.3.

winapi.dll from Steve Donovan would be very helpful and Steve did kindly release compiled binaries - back in Jan 2012 (http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2012-01/msg00263.html). No sign of Lua 5.3 binaries at this time.

Kind Regards Gavin Holt

For binary distribution... well, that's a tricky part. Just stumbled
on to uLua: https://ulua.io/index.html
I suppose it's worth a spin. And again, no idea how well does it work.
