16 Bit dll

[snt]

I have a 16 bit dll which obviously is a problem in a win32 environment. How can I convert this to 32 bit? I have close to zero knowledge of c, so I would need something fairly simple.

Thanks.

Well first you need the original C source code to the DLL and (ideally) a 32Bit version of the original compiler.

You then need to remove the LibMain and or WEP from the DLL and add a DllMain.

You will also have to check that there are no 16Bit specific calls made with in the DLL as well. But in a nutshell this is what's needed.

Thanks for the reply.
Is there somewhere that has some sort of a list or reference to 16Bit specific calls. I wouldn't know if there where just by looking at the code.

Not as far is I know (but that's nothing), but others might. Once approach would be to go through the source and check each call against the platforms documentation. It's all I can suggest.

Sorry.
