   Not being from the Windows world, a naive question: would changing  
the output name from QD3D.dll break existing apps that expect QD3D?  
(Are there any?)  Is it possible to have one DLL file link to two  
different names?

Yes, and yes (there are quite a few -- any 3D app written in REALbasic
links against QD3D).  Windows libraries are resolved by file name.  I
believe this is true for Mach-O libraries too.  (CFM was far more
sensible, but alas...)

I had the same problem in the past when I want use Qd3d.dll from 
QuickDraw3d apple and Quesa.dll.
If I change name Quesa.dll into qd3d.dll I had not problem.
Now Quesa is better than QuickDraw3d so I use only Quesa.
I don't succeed to have two different link so I must copy and paste the 
dll into folder.
