subject: DLL Issues...

-> I find it easy. I typically write a 'library' as a normal program wit
-> a main() function for testing. Then when I'm ready to convert to a .D
-> I change the appropriate compiler switches (from within Workframe/2)

Thanks for the reply!  As it turned out, converting the library to a
.DLL was pretty easy.  The only tricky thing was deciding exactly which
data members to export (compatibility vs. data-hiding....).

-> perhaps you could key this to the size of the .DLL or something like
-> that to make it harder.

This specific approach would cause problems (because I'd like to be able
to release updates to the .DLL without breaking client code), but a
variation on this concept worked fine.  Thanks again!

Joel
