Then you are in the wrong Newsgroup to begin with.
This group is for the Pre-Builder versions.
Even though the compiler says Borland C++ 5.5, it is acutally the
compiler from Builder 5, and so your questions should be addressed to
groups with the word cppbuilder in its name.
In this case, borland.public.cppbuilder.commandlinetools would have
been the proper place.

If you need more help, ask over there.

Don't know what an .s file is.

>Link: link startstunnel.obj /dll /export:startstunnel /export:killprocess

Don't know what the  cl  and  link  commands are.
We use  bcc32  and  ilink32
There should be a help file called BCB5TOOL.HLP
In there are all the commandline syntax and options.

You will probably want more flags, but the dll flag is

bcc32 -WD startstunnel.c

Search this and the cppbuilder groups for messages from Ed Mulroy
He has posted many times (some this month) on the topic of compiling
dlls.

Is that an appology?
