Many thanks Leledumbo.

>> most (or probably all) of them loads the DLL they wrap statically.

I was thinking that too. I have try to change compiler options in Visual Studio ( 6 and 11) to load dynamic the "child" library but i loose.

The only way i find to dynamicaly load the "child" library is to... use fpc.

PS : I wanted to help my C developper friends (who do not understand how i did to dynamically load the "child" library) and after trying lot of things, my conclusion was : C folks, migrate to Pascal, that is the best solution... ;-)
