This question has to do with DLL'S and the various export/import options available in the .def file. Julie Solon answered a question wrt to decorated names, but my subsequent question was not answered. It is: In the .def file for the calling program it is documented that it should be possible in the IMPORTS section to put MyFctName=DLLApp.FctName or to put MyFctName=DLLApp.3 // where 3 is the exported ordinal number or to put DLLApp.FctName and then omit the import.lib file while building the calling .exe file. I have not been able to get any of these methods to work. Should these methods work? Does the linker process a .def file?
