A standard dll exports a series of (usually named) procedures which a
client can call externally.  In order to do so the client developer will
need documentation that specifies the calling method the procedure takes
and it's argument list.

An ActiveX dll is a standard dll that exposes 4 well known procedures
namely Register, Unregister, GetClassObject and CanUnload.  It contains a
resource known as a type library that defines the set of COM classes and
interfaces within the dll.
