1. Mixing and matching DLL files from other langs

I have posted a request about making WIndows LINK files, with no response. I found on the net at a DLL resource site a STKIT432.DLL file that has a create link function in it. The file is from a Visual Basic 5 package. Can I still use this DLL file even though it was meant for VB5...technically speaking? If I can, can I distribute it with my programs that use it (if I can't, being able to is kinda pointless.) THANKS! Mike Hurley __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Mike, As long as the author of the DLL has compiled it correctly, you should be able to use it just like any other DLL. DLL's are machine-code, so there's no difference whether it was created using C, VB, or any other compiler. You can redistribute the DLL only if the author has specifically given permission.

I was pretty sure about it in that regard. Technically speaking meant whether it is OK because I didn't buy the programming package. Mike Hurley __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com
