Werner, Thanks for the help. However, please excuse my dumbness, but I never made a lib file before. So far, I found the Visual C++ project file, and I compiled it. However, the compiler only made the obj files. So what is next to get the obj's into .lib? If you are not sure since you never used Visual C++, and although the MSDN forums, which supports Visual C++, usually do not support 3rd party libraries, is this something I could ask there since it is a compiler question?
