My application will use Ingres and Tuxedo libraries (*.lib). The libraries are very big, and i don't want to find which dll contains particular call. Moreover, the libraries could contain *.obj files for static linking. I have two question about 1) Will Cygnus provide support for linking *.lib libraries in the near future? I think it's badly required for serious applications. 2) Is there correct and fast method to transform *.lib libraries to *.a libraries Andrey A.
