Barry,
I don't know if you actually read AmIBroker Development Kit (ADK)
http://www.amibroker.com/members/bin/ADK.exe
(members only).
ADK allows to build DLLs using not only Visual C++ but also
FREE DevC++ package. Project files for DevC++ are included
in the ADK.
Also there are sample files ready-to-use starting from very basic things
so writing DLL plugin for AmiBroker is not much more difficult
than writing "hello world" application.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
