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

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.
