First off the guy that told you to write a DLL must be pulling your
leg. I started to write him a nasty gram for being so ridiculous. He
is right but writing a DLL is not as easy as falling off a hay
wagon.
You can use Visual C++ to create DLLs. My compiler supports it but I
have never tried it. Finding a program that is easy to learn is
another matter all together. I use Visual C++ and it is anything but
easy to learn. If all you want in the DLL are formulas (functions)
that will accept parameters and spit out a value then it might not
be so hard. But if you need an interface that returns multiple
values or put up a window forget it. That would be really difficult.
If all you want is a formula in your DLL try writing functions in
ALF. If you can handle that then you may be able to write a DLL. But
if you have difficulty writing functions in ALF then using a program
language will be very hard to learn, not impossible but HARD. But if
you are a programmer and can write in visual Basic then you should
not have too much trouble learning another language. You will need a
free compiler. Visual C++ is expensive. If you can find a free UNIX
C++ compiler then that may be the way to go.
But if you are not a programmer you are in for a learning
experience, kind of like sipping from a fire hose. I would suggest
going to codeguru or pro ramming sites and see if they have a free
java program that will allow it.
Search "writing dll" in Google. This is one that you might read
first, http://www.barbus.biz/products/fb/hellodll.html. That will
give you the steps but I am not sure what language they are writing
in. This is another site, http://www.zetnet.co.uk/rad/dll.html. They
are writing the DLL in C++. If you are not a programmer or unless
that is really what you want to do, forget trying to learn C++, or
even C. It is like learning another language, and that's what it is,
another language
The problem with Java, I believe, is that it is open source. If so
that may allow anyone to read your code. That is what you did not
want. The only way I know of, and I am not an expert in DLLs, is to
write it in a high level language like Pascal or C++ and compile it.
That would turn it into hex which is not readable.
