Converting COFF library to OMF library

[amhunt]

I am in the unfortunate position of having to use a library (blix.lib) created by VC++ ver 6. This library is in "COFF" format and must be converted to OMF format in order for tlink to process it. Inprise provides a utility program (COFF2OMF.EXE) to do the conversion. It runs quietly (COFF2OMF blix.lib bblix.lib) and produces empty output library (bblix.lib). Any ideas / expierences?

Thanks in advance! -mark-

After spending many hours researching this problem I discovered that unfortunately in my case it can't readily (or even close to readily) be done. I found 2 very good artiles at bcbdev.com written by Harold Howe that discuss the in's and out's of using VC++ dll's from BCB land. In particular the artile at:

was very illuminating. Thanks Harold!
