I recently discovered a free DLL Export Viewer, and found it very useful in working on my DLL. Basically you point it at any DLL, such as those that are part of DBPro, and it displays the mangled-named exports of the DLL in a nice list. You can then copy items from the list and paste them elsewhere. It's much easier than loading a DLL into Notepad and trying to extract the mangled names that way.

I also found it useful in creating my string table, by pointing it at my own DLL so I could get at the mangled names of my functions.

Get it here:

I (think) I have attached a screen shot.

Hope this proves as useful to y'all as it did to me.

interesting.

You can also use RESOURCE HACKER.
it's an easy tool to extract string table, save them as .RC or .RES (edito them when on .RC) and insert them in another DLL. You can directly modify the resource within REsource hacker.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

my favourite is a program called depends - it does exactly what that export viewer does except you can see what the dll relies on to work, very uesful tool - it ships with the visual studios, as part of visual c++ and can be downloaded from loads of sites - google it
