Dev-C++ linking with MSVC-generated libs?

Is this possible? I have some MSVC-generated libraries from third parties I'd like to link with, can I do it or am I (as they say) Super Out Of Luck? :p
TIA!
The intention of this group is to promote pure C and C++ development on DEV-C++ (this is my idea anyway). MS does not agree with standards in C/C++ (maybe now they are chaniging their tune, they try to push .NET as a standard of MANAGED C++ --- why don't they just use BASIC if they cannot manage it themselves) anyway I am losing my point, I think Kip should develop vCONVERT, a program which converts all VC++ projects to DEV-C++ and then deletes all VC++ files!!!!

Hmm, that's not possible for what I need. I have a third-party game engine that I need to link into and I _ONLY_ have .lib files, if I can't do it with Dev-C++ I'll have to go to some other package that supports it - I believe the Borland C++ compiler can do the job. I'd RATHER use Dev-C++, but you know that nasty real world intrudes sometimes, what can you do... :(
ever heard of reimp? it's a a tool for converting lib files. i don't think it's 100% accurate, but you might want to give it a go. check

and browse around. please note i don't have at full URL to reimp itself, but you should find it under 'ported software'.
cheers,
