Hi - 

The following code compiles in MSVC6 and creates a DLL that is loaded by another
program. I need help doing several things - 

1) get it to compile in BCB5
2) Set a system hook for the keyboard
3) Display a form from within the dll

#2 I can figure out but when I try to compile in BCB5 I get an error " Multiple
declaration for LINKAGE" and the same for IMPORT TABLE.

How do I get by this?

And most important, can I use VCL to create the form and then how to display?

Any help appreciated.
