DLLs

Quite a stupid question...
Can a DLL developed for one programming language be used in a different language. eg. There's a DLL desined for C++, and I want to use it with Blitz, is this possible? (and vice-versa?)

Yes

except if they are vb6 dll's becaus ethey are actualy ole objects...

u can use purebasic,c++,powerbasic and asm ;)etc. to make
a dll for use in bb

Incorrect. BlitzPrinter and BlitzData are both written in VB6. However you have to purchase a 3rd party tool that modifies the project to allow exportable functions.

How do you create a dll i powerbasic ?

If you don't include #COMPILE EXE at the top of the code
the compiler will automatically compile it as a dll.

ok, thanks. Just to clarify: I wan to use BulletML which is a DLL designed for use with C/D languages - can I use it with Blitz??

Never heard of it. But if it returns standard data types, doesn't require callbacks or pointers to functions... Then yes. Probably.

Ok thanks. I'll give it a try.
