    Yes indeed.  With Turbo Pascal 6.0 .

    As I do every time this subject comes up, I will strongly recommend
    a software engineering language, such as Turbo Pascal, or Ada, 
    or Modula-2 or -3, over authoring languages.  The ultimate result 
    is almost always code that is not only faster, but is more robust
    and maintainable.

    We are a research and development group at the university of California
    creating intensely interactive (i.e. conversational) learning programs,
    and we have been using Pascal for them since 1979.  We have had very
    good results from it.

    Now, we unfortunately do not have either OS/2 nor Turbo Pascal for
    Windows, so I can't talk about direct experience with DLL files.
    I *have*, however, written a Pascal unit (into a TPU file) to provide
    client programs with control of the M-Motion, and it works very 
    nicely.

    I strongly recommend you look into Turbo Pascal for Windows
    for creating M-Motion applications.
