GOAL:

Can you take a Windows .DLL, copy it to a UNIX box and call it from Progress?

FACT(s) (Environment):

Progress 9.x

FIX:

No, you cannot take a Windows .DLL, copy it to UNIX and call it from Progress.

Windows .DLL files are Microsofts implementation of the concept of "libraries of code that can be shared by many processes without statically linking to the libraries". On UNIX these types of files typically end with .so or .sl file extensions.
