	There was a method noted here in the last couple of weeks on how to 
generate MS compatible .dlls using Gnu-Win32, that had been tested.  You 
might want to take a look at the archives for the information.

	In terms of Borland C, it has always been able to understand the MS 
..dll.  So, if you generate a .dll that MSVC can understand, then Borland C 
can probably understand it as well.

	Afaik, you can not generate .lib files easily via Gnu-Win32.  As far as 
linking is concerned, I believe that Borland/Win32 only recognizes the MS 
and Borland type .lib files.  You would probably be best served by generating 
an MS compatible .dll to use with Borland.

	I hope this helps.

	Peace,
