I have a dll on a win32 box.  can djgpp be used to create binaries
that access the functionality contained within that dll from within a
c++ project?

I've looked about online for any documentation, but the only really
useful information I've come across seems to indicate that msvc++
and gnu compilers mangle names differently, and therefore don't
necessarily play well together.

Is this (still) true, or is there a way to get my djgpp-compiled
c++ code to interface with the dll in question?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
