I have written a DLL but apparently I need to export the function name.
How do I go about doing this?

Also how to export the function with a different name, ie someFunc to be
known as anotherFunc.

Thanks!

Exporting functions in 32 bit windows code is done by decorating the
function header with
__declspec(dllexport)

You typically want to also make it extern "C" and __stdcall (or WINAPI which
is the same thing).

If you go here you can follow throught he web pages which show simple demos
that include creating DLL's and programs which use them.

This zip file contains many simple demo programs, some of which have DLL's
and programs which use them. Make sure that you enable the unzipper program
to create the directories the zip file contains when you unzip it.
