The TypeBrowser mainly supports COM-objects. I assume your DLL is
exporting "old-style" DLL entry points. So unfortunately the TypeBrowser
can not help you generate wrapper code for this DLL.

I assume that you uses the latest binary jawin release? If this is the
case I suggest that you try to use the latest source and documentation
directly from CVS. Especially the documentation about eg. DLL'entry
points have been updated a lot since the last binary release (I think
you can perhaps see it directly (without proper style) from the
SourceForge.net CVS viewer:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/jawinproject/jawin/docs/jawinuserguide_dll.html?rev=1.6
).

This page:
        http://jawinproject.sourceforge.net/jawindeveloper.html
describes how you check out and build the Jawin source manually (you
don't need to build the native source).

If this doesn't help you, feel free to post eg. one of the method
headers that you don't know how to call.

Good luck and best regards
