Hi,

I have downloaded the free command-line compiler & basic utilities. 
Looks good. But I can't make a DLL; the necessary libraries aren't part 
of that download? (SND.lib, etc).

I am trying to port my free Photoshop plugins to this platform. If I am 
successful, the Digital Mars makefile will be included in the source 
distribution, adding to the list of free compilers that can be used to 
create such plugins.

Is there any way I can obtain the necessary files to build a DLL with 
Digital Mars - other than buying the CD (I don't do commercial Windows 
development)?

Actually... I think you should be able to link the static library 
SNN.LIB into a .DLL...
This of course would make the .DLL larger, but it should work.

You don't need the CD or other DLL's to build a DLL, i.e. you don't need to
use the -ND switch. I've made DLL plugins to Cooledit.
