Pierce, Esteban, many thanks for your most valuable directions.

One final consideration:
Truth is, once you load it in P7, the package should work (at least in 32 bits, I do not think is made thinking on 64bits platforms). Both notations ends calling same primitives.
This means, if your intentions are just to play a bit and see how things work: you should not need to do the translation :)

Ps: I just tried in P8 the approach to load I proposed. It throws an error but loads.

I started to play with ODBC package upgrade from Pharo 4.0 to 7.0 (http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/PharoExtras/ODBC), more or less as an exercise. As a smalltalk novice I stubmled to the challenge of, as it seems, an old FFI syntax. When I try to load the package into Pharo 7.02 on Windows, I get this error:

I have two questions: - Is there any elegant way to successfuly load the package into Pharo 7 to get started with the code adaptation? - And, of course, I'd be grateful if someone could point me into the right direction of how to tackle with the above cdecl syntax with the new UFFI.
Best wishes Tomaz
