AFAIK, you don't need the def-files anymore. All you have to do is use a tag on every function you wish to export in the source code. Python already works this way and so do all my extensions (the needed macros are in the file mxh.h).
But that requires modifying the source, which is IMHO unacceptable.
Why is that unacceptable ? After all, package authors do have access to the code and know their way around ;-) Better drop the old def-file stuff and move to more modern ways of intergrating the information into the code...
There is an alternative which is to specify the exports w/ a command line switch.
...and perhaps add this as backup solution. Note that the /EXPORT:symbol you need for every symbol may well fill up the available command line argument memory (not sure how much there is on WinXX). -- Marc-Andre Lemburg ______________________________________________________________________ Y2000: 109 days left Business: http://www.lemburg.com/ Python Pages: http://www.lemburg.com/python/
