Subj : Problem using Borkand 4.5 and importing .lib files from MSCV
To   : borland.public.cpp.borlandcpp,borland.public.install.bcpp

Hello All,

I am having trouble using a particular library with borland 4.5 on Windows
NT.

The library consists of a .lib and a .dll and is written and compiled using
Microsoft Visual C.

To import this into Borland.  I understand that you ned to run an implib on
the .dll file and then import the resultant .lib file into your program.  I
know this certainly works for Borland 5.

However, there is a need and a requirement to use Borland 4.5 and when I go
to convert these files using the implib call dumps out of the file with the
error of an access violation.

Can anyone out there give me a clue as to why this is not working?

Can anyone step me through the procedure on how I can successfully import my
library with 4.5.

Many thanks in advance,

Richard Latter
