1. DLL for Euphoria info
Hello,
Recently i wanted to do something with Euphoria but i need to
know more about how a windows dll loads the code from the .dll file
into memory. Perhaps info about the dll file type itself would be enough.
Any ideas or links?
Thanks.
Take care,
Al

Hi Al,
Windows dll are the format ast windows .exe files the format is Portable
Executable (PE).
The windows process responsible for loading program in memory distinguish dll
from exe files from a flag in the file header. You can test it by renaming a dll
with a .exe extesion and open it in euphoria with open_dll(). It will work but
you can't run it like program because the windows loader will know it is a dll by
reader the header.
For more information about the PE format:

agree with the licence and download "pecoff v8.doc" on the next page.
