- I may not know the answer either, but I do know that implib.exe

- Alex: Are you trying to implib a foreign DLL or does the

- Quite contrary, it's a lot simpler. Just click the button - or key in
- Ctl-F9 - and everything's done automatically. If you have errors,
- just double-click on the error message and the editor automatically
- positions itself on the offending code.

- If you're not using the features -- which, btw are a significant part
- of the price you paid -- you're wasting your money. Command line
- compiling is typically reserved for unusual needs which the
- IDE can not handle. I've built some large projects without ever
- having to resort to old-fashioned command-line compilation.
