I haven't had problems under Digital Unix, but have had problems under
Windows. For what it's worth, I used to build my Windows .DLLs using
the Watcom C++ compiler. I never used ".DEF files"; I just needed to
specify the appropriate calling-convention for the routines called from IDL.
These .DLLs crash IDL 5. Apparently you *have to* use the arcane .DEF file
way of building Windows .DLLs for IDL 5.
