-
- Generally this is done via an Import Library. This is a .LIB file,
- usually provided by the vendor of the DLL, which you include in your
- link command for your program.
-
- If the vendor did not supply such a library, there should be a program
- called IMPLIB in the VC++ directories somewhere which can be used to
- create it.
