Hi!
First, I'd like to apologise if this does not quite match the criteria
for this list but I'm running fairly short on time...

I've built a cygwin DLL. I need to make it available to end-users who
are using visual studio c++ and possibly borland c++:( (I couldn't build
my code with VS6 - can't find my way through all the GUI crap:-( ).

 Before I waste lots of time trying to make it work, can anyone tell me
if cygwin DLLs are binary/link compatible with VS6. I have the
impression that I can run 'lib' - an MS utility - to generate an MS
import lib from my DLL. I'd appreciate it if anyone can shed some light
on this for me.
Thanks.
