howto use dll´s in C

[christian richter]

Hello,

i have a dll which makes some string conversions, and i want to use it in my
C-Programm in Linux, i found out that wine can execute win32 exe´s and so i
thought it should be possible to use a winelib or something to use the
dll-functions and to get back values from this dll . .
please help me, i  don´t want to convert the whole dll (written in M$ Visual
Basic ) into C - sources ..

thank you
