Hello All,

I am using borland 4.5 with Windows NT.  Unfortunately, this is a
requirement of my project...!

I would like to convert a Windows .dll file for use with borland C++
4.5.  I am aware that in Borland 5, all I need to do is run an implib
and this should create a lib file for me to import.   Indeed, I have
tested this and it works.

However, when I try to do the same for Borland 4.5 C++ it does not
work returning an access violation error with implib.  The library I
am trying to import is generally used for Microsoft VC6 applications
and is 32bit.

I have also tries running impdef on the same file returning the exact
same results.

Questions

1.  Does anyone know why this might be causing this?

2.  Does anyone the correct procedure to get around this kind of
error?

3.  Are there any tutorial guides or useful links I could look at.

Many thanks in advance,

Richard Latter
