Hi,

my problem is following:
I must use a 32bit-DLL from Visual Basic 3.0 (a 16bit-application) 
under WfW (the DLL also runs with Win32s) and Win95.

Calling the DLL directly doesn't work.

Which possibilities exist to solve this problem?

) Writing an own DLL for conversion between 16bit and 32bit?
   If yes, from where can I get more information about that?
   Do such DLL's exist anywhere?

) Writing a 32bit-OLE-Server? (I could use VC++ 4.0)
   Are there any examples of such servers, that also run under Win32s?
   Is it true, that OLE-container and OLE-server can be written
   for different APIs (16,32bit)?

) Any other suggestions?

Thanks
Wolfgang
