Using ISL:

Delphi, C/C++ and Visual Basic ISL APIs are provided, to use ISL with another language you'll first have to convert the header file. There is no guarantee that all future ISL versions will be compatible with all previous versions, so your program should use ISL_GetVersion to check the version that is loaded. This also means that you should put ISL.DLL in the same directory as your program (not just somewhere in the path), to avoid the possibility of a wrong version being loaded.
