Oh Ok. Sorry I hadn't read your recent response yet. I will try this

create .lib files but got nowhere fast.
Thank you for your patience.

The only way I know of to use the DLL in this case is to use
LoadLibrary() calls to access each function. (Although I could be
wrong). Here's how to do this:

fp_mitab_c_getlibversion;
