- Actually, if you wrote a DLL containing only your code (i.e. no Windows
- specific calls) and used Pascal calling conventions, I would be able to use
- that same DLL from a Borland Pascal DPMI (Protected mode) program.
- Of course I'd need to know the parameters and DLL indexes of
- your DLL functions.

- So... DLL's really are portable (to a degree).
