Hmmm.  If I understand correctly, and it's to be written ``int WINAPI
OpenSomething'', it seems that it becomes unable to even call the
function:

``Can't find DLL entry point OpenSomething in foo.dll''

Maybe I should have made it clearer that simply calling DLL functions
is working; it's when they contain an open() that they just crash.

The name in foo.c is OpenSomething, the name in foo.def if
OpenSomething, the name in the VB source is OpenSomething.  Is this
what you mean?

(Sorry if that's a dumb question.  I'm totally oblivious of the VB
side here, luckily it's not me working on that.)

Thank you!

Massimiliano
