Hello again,

thanks to patient help from those on the list, I've solved my problem. For
future ref:

Function prototype:
  long (* __cdecl BULLET)(void *data);

DEF file testexp.def:
EXPORTS
BULLET AT 4

commands
--------
to buiild import library:
dlltool --dllname TESTXB.DLL --def testexp.def --output-lib libtestxb.a -k

to compile and link the .c file containing the call to BULLET():
gcc -c any2.c -DPLATFORM=ON_WIN32
gcc -o any2.exe any2.o -L. -ltestxb

Given how simple this is, surely it's in a FAQ somewhere? What did I
overlook? If it's not, are there any plans to put together documentation
for newdies like me?

Thanks,
Regards,
Tom.
