Hey all,

Is there a way to generate a .LIB file from the export functions in a DLL?  I know FreeBasic (the QuickBasic clone) has a utility that generates .BI files which are similar to .LIB file.

Thanks as always!

Update: After 2 days of searching I think I found out how.  Digital Mars has an add on pack for their C/C++ compiler.  In that add on pack is a utility called 'ImpLib'.    Its a command line utility that generated LIB's from DLL's of DEF files.  I would be open to any other tidbits of info anyone has to offer.

ImpLIB Usage:

Go about a quarter of the way down to 'Basic Utilities  (262,000 bytes) ' and download the ZIP file.
