speaking of this, I have an opposite problem....have a library in Delphi which is intended to be used also by C(++)....and I cannot generate a .lib file....found implib file from Digital Mars which generates a .lib file out of the compiled .dll, however evidently it is OMF format and not COFF format MS uses....then found some russian tool which was supposed to transform it to COFF format, however MS C++ compiler doesn't want to link with this converted .lib file, saying it has unresolved external references....I guess I'll have to go the LoadLibrary/GetProcAddress way....
