A plug-in is a general name for the component that extends program's
functionality. Some plugins have an access to GUI some not.
Take a look at Media Player or WinAmp - they have audio/video codecs
that just decode/encode media stream from one format to another.
AmiBroker plug-in DLLs will enable you to write functions that will expand
AFL built-in repertoire. They will not have an access to GUI at this time.
As for the access to GUI - there are some plans to expose more
functionality through AmiBroker object model - but this will have to wait
till Q2/2002.

I meant all GCC "flavours" including DJGPP (yes I mistyped it) and MINGW (www.mingw.org)
(Note that first release of ADK will probably contain the sources for VC6 only.)
