hello.
i was wondering...
how do u ppl know what is in a dll and what it does and how to use it? is
there a special program i should be aware of? when i look at a dll it isnt
very human-readable.

>how do u ppl know what is in a dll
If all you have is the dll, then open it with notepad or any text editor and
search for the name of the dll within itself (eg. if the name of the dll is
xyz.dll then open it and search for the string xyz.dll). Just after (or
before) the name should be a list of all functions it exports.
>and what it does and how to use it? is
This can't be done with just the dll afaik. You'll need some kind of
documentation, or it's pretty much useless (from a programmer's
perspective).

HMMMM, tried your suggestion. Quickview didn't come up in the context
menu.
So, tried OPEN with quickview. Received message "There are no viewers
registered for this type of file. Would you like to try the default
viewers?".
Of course, I replied "yes".
Received message "There are no viewers capable of viewing Application
Extension files."
Any suggestions?

can

/Simply right-click the DLL in Explorer, and select Quick View in the
/context menu, and it comes up with a heep of info - version number /and
all
/the boring stuff, plus all the enclosed routines ... might be helpful
for
/someone maybe...?

OK, I found the flag to remove the underscores from exported names:
-nounderscores.
D'oh!
I'm still puzzling out why I can't export the pow() function, though...
