Does anyone know how to go about linking in MSVC++/BC++ .LIB and .OBJ 
files for which the source code is unavailable?  I'm interested in 
using Microsoft's DirectX SDK and am wondering if the DirectX .LIB's  
can be directly linked into the executable, or if they must be 
converted into a COFF format first.  If so, how do I do this?

While I write, I'd like to put in my $0.02 worth on the new Cygwin32 
License.  To those people who can't accept the license, I would 
suggest using all the available resources (source code and 
documentation) available on POSIX, and write your own cygwin.dll.  
With the restrictions lifted on libcygwin.a, this shouldn't be too 
much of a problem for getting a different library linked in.

Ares out.
