The routine PA_PackageInfo returns various information on the package whose internal range number is pluginNumber.

Pass the number of the plug-in in packageNumber. This number is in the range of 1 to the total number of opened plug-in.

You receive the ID of this plug-in in the short pointed to by plugID, the resource file reference number of this plug-in in resfile , a reference to its private data in data , and its name in name.

In procPtr, you receive a pointer to the code of the plug-in. This can be very useful in some cases since it lets you directly call some functions of another plug-in without using the EXECUTE routines (PA_ExecuteMethod, PA_ExecuteFunction, etc.).

Consult the FourDPack or Main function in 4DPluginAPI source code to see how you can call another plug-in. Be sure to send the pluginData as the plug-in will expect it and set the current resource file to plug-in resource file.

PA_FindPackage.

PA_GetLastError always returns eER_NoErr
