I don't understand you completely. You want to link an Ada static
library into a DLL using Visual C++? That sounds very difficult to get
right. Never did that myself.

I'd recommend that instead you build a DLL with Ada, then use this from
the Visual C++ DLL. How to create a DLL with GNAT is described in the
GNAT user's guide.

Oops. Or are you using Aonix ObjectAda? Sorry, then I know zero about
it.

HTH,
