Re: dll issue

Thanks for your answers Bjorn.
This is what I was doing: exporting a C api.
I manage to link properly, but the resulting binary crashes and cannot be
debugged.
I had a look at omf vs coff formats. Are dlls made as omf or coff formats?
And if so, does anybody know how to convert an omf formatted dynamic library
(like borland linker provides) to a coff one (like ld expects)?
