You will not get an error unless you try to call the function, and the
DLL is not there.  Then you will get the "Could not load the
application's segment: _BLAHBLAH is in error" message.

Yes, there is an easier solution.  You should investigate the
DosLoadModule function, which allows you to load a DLL at run-time.
Then you just read in the address of the function you want, using the
DosGetProcAddr procedure, and call it.
