   Help with .dll files....
  note: this involves programming in C++....How the heck do you use them!? I''m working on a game IDE called DSRPG (www.diresoft.homestead.com) and I''m looking ahead to when I need to update it. I need to know how to use .dll files, but I can find absolutely ZERO documentation on them. I already know how they work, and I reason that putting all of my graphics functions in a .dll would make it easier to patch. I tried using them like header files but I got about 50 fatal errors (Die VC++7 DIE!). What do I have to do?   The true general first seeks victory, then seeks battle- Sun Tzu 
  What I mean is what syntax is used to access the contents of a Dll file? ;  I found this tutorial useful ;  Maybe these links would help you?http://www.flipcode.com/tutorials/tut_dll01.shtmlhttp://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article928.asphttp://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/dynamic_link_library_functions.aspSorry about not making them clickable links, I am not sure how to do that.  Good luck with them,Chris ;  Thanks everyone! Thank god for friendly online communities Oh, and those tutorials from both people are exactly what I was looking for!

Now I can port all of my graphics DLLs to Linux
