hey everyone,

I'm currently using a program on windows which is really irritating
me. It consistes of an .exe file and several .dll files which
apparently do 'all the work'. I wanted to take the .dll files and,
using them, code up a version of this app for linux. The problem is
that I'm not sure of the ins and outs of the .dll files. Is there a
way to figure out the inputs and params of the functions in the .dll
files?

Install the mingw32-msvc binutils, there should be something in there that
can extract a list of the entry-points

I'm not sure what you need to have to do to run w32 dlls from
linux apps though, but I recall that the gimp guys sorted that
out for photoshop plugins. winelib maybe?
