Yet you'll need a LIB file in C. It doesn't matter whether the names from
the DLL are mangled or not - if you want to link to it statically you need
the LIB file.

Try to find the information about the linker of MS. As far as I remember it
was able to produce a LIB file from a DLL. Borland provides a tool named
IMPLIB, but I do not know whether is also "speaks" MS's LIB-dialect.

Cheers,

Oliver
