In depth
A closer look at ImpLib32
The Implib32 application was designed to be a small tool that creates 32 bit import libraries for the use with Microsoft Visual C++ 2.x / 4.x / 5.x. Back in the good old days of Windows 3.x, Microsoft supplied a tool called IMPLIB. This tool was able to create a import library for a given DLL. After creating this library, you linked it to your program in order to call functions contained in the DLL. Unfortunatly, there is no equivalent to IMPLIB for Win32. Microsoft suggests on the Win32 Knowledge Base that you should use DUMPBIN to create a file which lists all exports of a DLL, reformat this file to .DEF-file using a text editor and then use LIB to create a import library from the .DEF-file. Implib32 does all this work for you: It invokes DUMPBIN and LIB and creates an import library!
