[Per Arnold Blåsmo]

Hi,

wine using this dll. I have the API description for this dll, but not 
the source code.

I there any possibility for that using i.e. winelib and is there any 
howto to get me started.

It is easiest to compile a Windows program using the mingw tools. 
Easiest to download are Bloodshed Dev-cpp on Windows
and mingw-gcc on Debian.

Put you DLL in the same directory as the Windows EXE you compiled and 
run Wine on it.

Once that succeds, you can start doing a Winelib port.
