Subject: How do DLLs work?

This is a basic question (and I hope I'm sending this to the right address, 
sorry if it ends up in the wrong place):

I've programmed in C under DOS and unix, and I've done a little with GTK, 
but Windows always baffles me.  A DLL is like a unix .so, correct?  If so, 
how do I link them, and where can I get the appropriate header files for 
things like the core Windows DLLs (for basic Windows apps, and OpenGL 
(theorectically I should be able to use the same libraries that came with 
Q3A or a similar game, correct?), and the like)

Or am I missing something entirely?

If someone could shed some light on the subject, it would be appriciated.
