Does anyone know how to call a file from a DLL made in MS VC++ or Borland 
C++.  I can make a DLL to add integers together, but that's about it.  I 
want to use a DLL to manipulate an Array of data, or data in a file, and 
then be able to return this stuff to VB.  For instance, take and array of 
10 numbers, from a VB app, call the DLL function which adds them together 
or something, and returns the sum.  Another example would be calling the 
DLL from VB that gets 10 numbers from a text file and returns the sum.  
If these kinds of things aren't possible, or if using a DLL to do these 
things is stupid, then you can call me a moron, it wont hurt my feelings 
much.  Also, if MFC makes you happier than a pig in @#!%, then dont pick 
on me for using VB.  I think VB is easy enough for user interface.  When 
you write your response (if anyone actually reads my message this far) 
please keep in mind that I am just a Physicist trying to learn something 
new (dont spare any details unless you're really in a hurry).  Thanks for 
your patience.
Oh, and if you want to e-mail something, please mail to eas1171@sjfc.edu, 
I am not in my account, and I am not quite sure how all this newsgroup 
stuff works anyway.  - Thanks again (in advance)
