I have had terrible trouble to get DLLs build and running on Windows95
until I got hold of dllfix.exe (a tool to repair bad .reloc section
endings).

Currently I'm running on W95 and NT 4.0 SP3 B18 with Sergey's coolview
with applications calling 5 or 6 DLLs without problems.

One problem is still that I seem to have to call _getenv instead of
getenv, _execl instead of execv, etc. to get it running when linked to
DLLs. I don't know why, see my
mail on environment variables and DLLs sometime back.

I attached my shell script to build DLLs with, maybe it is of some help
to you (you may need to edit it).

P.S. if you can't find dllfix.exe, I'll send it to you
