I don't know where else to post this.

I downloaded implib with the "bup" package, I've found it on this NG
(ftp://digitalmars.com/bup.zip). 

Anyway, implib works fine when I need to make an OMF import library out of a
DLL made in e.g. Visual Studio. But it crashes if I specify the .def file
instead of the .dll. This seems to happen regardless of whether the DLL is
there or not. For example here's a simple .def file (disregard the -----'s):

portaudio.def

Using: implib output.lib portaudio.def

The usual Windows crash dialog appears.

Btw. is implib really free? Because I don't see a direct link to a download on
the C++ tools page, yet I've found this link to "bup.zip" in the newsgroups.

You should use coffimplib instead and convert .lib import library of your dll.

 That's ok, using the DLL with implib works, but crashing is never nice.
 
 I don't think coffimplib is available for download however?


it's in that same ftp directory, though I don't know, whether it's piracy or
not, lol.
