Well, as anyone familiar with this area knows, there are
lots of aspects (resources, relocatability, various
language issues, wrapping variables, stdcall interface etc)
to be dealt with in the DLL world, and it is certainly

capability in this area, but the statement above is most
certainly true, it was possible to build DLL's as early
as version 3.09.
