Where can I get understandable descriptions of the 32-bit DLL files. I have the march beta, is there anything in there,or is there a book or something. Even a file up here? There is 1 Reply.

Stephen, There is very little difference between executables and DLL's under Windows NT. The biggest difference is in the entry point and how it is called. Both DLL's and executables are in the PE format. There is a pe.txt file located in the doc\sdk\filefrmt directory of the SDK CD. If, after reading that you have any additional specific questions please post them here. Thanks, Michael Markley [Microsoft Developer Support]
