How does one deploy a .dll ?

Hi,

I found the Lagoon deployment system described for D.4 which helps deploy a
Smalltalk application as an .exe which is great but is there a way to make
an application work as a .dll?

BTW, it would be great if Ian's Newsgroup Archives could be made searchable!

Thanks,
Kirk Fraser

append group:comp.lang.smalltalk.dolphin to the end of your query

You can only deploy an in-process COM object as a DLL. You can't create
a DLL with just C/C++ style functions in it. I believe this sort of
thing is possible in Smalltalk MT though.

You can either use Google or Ian Bartholomew's "News Browser" goodie
which has a search function. Also DSDN will search the image, wiki, and
newsgroup archives for stuff.

Kirk,

The idea is that you download the messages and then search them locally -
either using normal Windows tools,  my news browser or DSDN.  I haven't got
the resources, or knowledge, to make them searchable online.

If you've got an always on connection then it's probably just as easy to use
google, as Sean pointed out, but note that you won't see the first 3 1/2
years of messages (maybe more) on there.

if Google ever get their newsgroups working properly again, anyway ;-)

Me, I like to keep the archive locally too (even though I do use Google too).
In fact this has reminded me that I'm a bit behind...

Thanks, once again, for the archive.
