Lester,
 It works! Thank you. Assuming these will be archived, maybe this can help
someone else.

Since I'm wondering if Excel was caching something, I decided to use C# and
it works!
 Thanks,

Here is the example of calling cygwin C from C#:
------begin here ------

//  Begin commands to execute this file using MS.NET with bash
//  cat <<EOF >cdll.h
//  #ifndef cdll_h_included

//  #define cdll_h_included

//

//  /*

//   * When building the DLL code, you should define BUILDING_DLL so that

//   * the variables/functions are exported correctly. When using the DLL,

//   * do NOT define BUILDING_DLL, and then the variables/functions will

//   * be imported correctly.

//   *

//   * You need to be using egcs-1.1.1 or newer.

//   *

//   * Building the DLL:

//   *  - define BUILDING_DLL, which defines DLLIMPORT
__attribute__((dllexport))

//   * Building the client code:

//   *  - DO NOT define BUILDING_DLL, which defines DLLIMPORT to be one

//   *    __attribute__((dllimport))

//   */

//

//  #if BUILDING_DLL

//  # define DLLIMPORT __declspec (dllexport)

//  #else /* Not BUILDING_DLL */

//  # define DLLIMPORT __declspec (dllimport)

//  #endif /* Not BUILDING_DLL */

//

//  DLLIMPORT double dll_double_square (double);
