No big problems with using dll's but... It's may cause problems with already installed openssl dlls on user machine (I talk about possible version conflicts because different version of OpenSSL have diffirent problems and some user software may not works with latest OpenSSL dll's).
Also, I must include to my setup Visual C++ 2008 redistributable because OpenSSL binaries from http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html requires it. And I don't know how to compile OpenSSL in BCB to get .dll's with no VC2008 requirement. I can only get .lib, .h, and .obj files :-( --- With best regards, Max Terentiev. Business Software Products.
