Can someone give me an example on how to write a dll in Borland C++ 5
which will return a string to a visual basic program which is calling
it?  If I define the return value as char will visual basic recognize it
as a string?  Also, when I try to call it from visual basic I get some
kind of error about the function I'm calling not being found within the
DLL.  What am I doing wrong?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
