I am new to SpiderBasic and would like to port my PureBasic application. In it I am using external library function
available as .dll (for Windows platform) and .so (for Linux). I also got this function available in Java (used previously
in application developed using B4J) Is there a way to somehow use external function from SpiderBasic application.
If not - could you please advice if there are some work around that I could use ?

Unfortunately, you can't access any DLL or external binary program client side. On standard way to do it, is to write a CGI in PureBasic, using your DLL and do remote call from your SB app. Or may be you can find a pure Javascript equivalent ?
