JT> uchar EXPENTRY _getch(void)

The *real* getch() function has an external name of _getch().  Since the
_System (EXPENTRY) convention does not prepend an aditional underscore,you
are ending up with two functions called _getch().

Note that "application programmmers" are not supposed to start
any function/variable names with an _underscore;  that privilage is
supposed to be reserved for compiler vendors.

When I renamed your function to _getch2(),  everything worked fine.

I also made the following changes:

 JT> LIBRARY RTL2

Should be:

    LIBRARY RTL2 INITINSTANCE


 JT> /* TEST2.DEF */
 JT> NAME         TEST2
 JT> DESCRIPTION 'Dynamic Linking Library Sample application'
 JT> IMPORTS     RTL2._getch

Erase test2.def entriely;  instead,  use RTL2.LIB (created by borland when
you select "Generate Import Library|From DLL" to resolve the
imports to your DLL -- it removes any posibilty of human error.

Therefore,  remove TEST2.DEF from your *.PRJ file and replace it with
RTL2.LIB (which will be created automatically from RTL2.PRJ).
