AFAIK, no. The loader would need to undertand the PE-COFF format (which it doesn't -- yet?). But more importantly, DLLs tend to interact with other Windows DLLs and with the NT kernel, and we don't have an NTlator comparable to the linuxulator. Of course, there's always /usr/ports/emulators/wine, which has the limited ability to load DLLs. Regards, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
