I DLed the package, and the DLLs seem most radically different to Win/OS2 DLLs, for a start they're in COFF format! But it's clearly been modelled on Win/OS2 DLLs, coz there's an "implib" utility. It looks pretty cool, but I can't make it work! I had to modify the implib utility - it cried about a reference to __crt0_startup_flags and that ___bss_count thing, so I found a section of similarly-intended variables that implib was told not to worry about (go32_information_block etc). Then it compiled and GPFed consistently when trying to link the test DLL! Judging from the first problem, we have a version incompatibility (__ctr0_startup_flags being a V2 thing, I believe).
