How do you make a userlib? like a .dll or .decls

By adding DLLs and '.decls' files to this directory, you can extend blitz's command set.


In my humble opinion this isn't absolutely correct. While this works on your dev machine, you can hardly release a software with the "userlibs" folder. So you better put the DLL into the folder of your exe, instead of the "userlibs" folder. Or, if you are using a system DLL, then there's no need to copy it to any place, windows will find it automaticly.

A sidenote to Fuller: writing decls is simple, writing DLL's is much harder. Maybe you better start using existing DLLs until you're familar with userlibs.
