🚀 go-pugleaf

Resolved one issue - the multiple declarations are no longer an issue. Had
included the H file in the project along with it's being included in the C
module.

Still need help with the other areas.

Thank you,

I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on disk somewhere!
UPDATE!!-- I have lost my mind.

Your problem is
// These are the two structs that are exported from the DLL
//
typedef struct IMPORTTABLE
{
    struct
    {
        ID fnID;
        PVOID fnPtr;
    } dummy;
} IMPORTTABLE;

You have defined a typedef named IMPORTTABLE and a struct named IMPORTTABLE;
apparently MSVC6 doesn't consider it a problem.  I would suggest you change
it to either
// These are the two structs that are exported from the DLL
//
typedef struct IMPORT_TABLE
{
    struct
    {
        ID fnID;
        PVOID fnPtr;
    } dummy;
} IMPORTTABLE;

or better yet
// These are the two structs that are exported from the DLL
//
struct IMPORTTABLE
{
    struct
    {
        ID fnID;
        PVOID fnPtr;
    } dummy;
};

same for the other duplicate.
