Put simply, just a bunch of compiled 'functions' - as opposed to a
complete, runnable program - which you can call from your running program.
DLL's sometimes contain other stuff as well - bitmaps, icons, and
various other data which programs may want to use, generally referred
to as 'resources'.
The purpose, of course, was to save space and to prevent
programmers from having to continually 're-invent the wheel'
with each program they write.
