So far, so good.

That's right, since he is building a DLL he needs to like either with
LLIBCDLL, or, if his application and DLL have to share C run-time
information, such as the variable errno, or file i/o streams, he must
use the customized CRTLIB (this is what FTP did for our PC/TCP
Developer's Toolkit).

Let's take them one at a time.

Paul> What does this message mean?

It means that the application is looking for a function called _MYPROC
in the DLL module, but that it is not there.

Paul> Where have I done an error?

You have forgotten to link your application with /NOI, case
insensitivity, so that the application is looking for _MYPROC, when
you really want it to find _myproc.  You should really also link with
/NOD and /NOE, in my experience.

Paul> And where can I found a description of these messages ?????

Use the "helpmsg" command: "helpmsg sys0127" will give you more
details.

Hope this helps,
Mark

That "cannot demand load the application segment" means that it could not
load the DLL.  Check to make sure that the DLL is in the LIBPATH.

Well, sort of...it means that it found the DLL, but not all the
functions it wanted were in there.  When OS/2 can't find a DLL, it
says "The system cannot find the file XXX.".

Larry> Check to make sure that the DLL is in the LIBPATH.

This won't help!

The message I get when OS/2 can't find the DLL goes something like:

"cannot load XXXXXX"

where XXXXXX is the name of the DLL without the .DLL extension.
