Hello,

I have test.lib file made in Visual Studio C. Also I have a test.def file 
with all export function names.
I want to link to this library in Borland statically.
Should I use IMPLIB?
How?

Thanks
Rony

Two ways:

1) Recompile the test.lib with Borland compiler.

2) Use VC to make it a DLL, then IMPLIB the DLL to create a stub.lib
that Borland can link. (You will need to distribute the DLL with your
application)

.lib files are compiler-specific.  If the .lib file is an import lib
for a DLL, then run the DLL itself through IMPLIB to create a
Borland-compatible .lib file.  If the .lib file is a static library,
on the other hand, then you likely will not be able to use it at all.
