The claim is that : "...Any compiler that can generate 16-bit Windows applications should be able to : access the DLL." : Can we use DJGPP to do this? Our other option is to purchase : Microsoft C which we'll do only if there's no other way. The simple short answer is no. DJGPP is a 32bit compiler, and as such can't link to normal 16bit code. Having said that there may be support for 32bit PE format DLLs in the future (PE format is what Win32,95 and NT use). Also DJGPP cannot write applications for windows. Malcolm
