What is the DLM project and where can I find out more about it?

<P>DJGPP is not inherently capable of using DLLs, which are a
<BR>Windows-specific tool. Even if you could create a DLL with DJGPP
object
<BR>code in it, Windows programs would probably barf on the incompatible
<BR>format. On the other hand, you have several alternatives, depending
on
<BR>what you are trying to do.
<P>First, if you just want dynamic modules in your DJGPP program, you can
<BR>try any of several user attempts to create that functionality.
One of
<BR>the more advanced projects is the "DLM" project; I don't know how far
it
<BR>has gotten.
<P>Second, if you want DJGPP code to be Windows-compatible, you cannot
do
<BR>it with standard tools. The RSXNTDJ toolkit, available from SimTel,
<BR>allows you to build and utilize Win32-native code, including DLLs and
<BR>other Windows filetypes, with the DJGPP compiler.
