LoadLibrary works wunder NT but not win95

I have written a DLL in C with all the correct calling convention notation
which I need to call from a delphi app.

hInst :=LoadLibrary('MyDLL.Dll');

hInst = 0 under windows 95 but it all works tickety-boo running the same code
under NT.

Does anyone have any ideas why this happens?

It has to do with the filename - one of the OS' needs the ".dll", the
other doesn't (can't remember which one is which - must try...)

Re:LoadLibrary works wunder NT but not win95


well had a similair problem, a self made DLL would not load like that until
I figured out that my own DLL used another DLL, this worked fine as long as
both DLL's where in the same folder or the 2nd DLL was in the system or
windows folder

maybe under your NT version this is the case and not under 95 ?

NT is the fussy one. I also declare the external calls in CAPITALS.

HTH.
