Why won't this work? (cards.dll)
i downloaded some source code today for cards.dll so I can learn about it and make something. The source doesn't work properly though. It says it can't find cards.dll!! The zip is at http://www.huron.net/~jlewis/cards.zip If anyone could help me out it would be appreciated :)
The dll is not shipped with the Zip-File, thats why you cannot find it.
Ask the programmer of the Sources.

The dll is part of Windows, so the program should be able to find it. I can't figure out why that particular project returned that error. It did the same thing on my machine. However, I found the almost exact same demo at http://www.pcworld.com/fileworld/file_description/frameset/0,1458,3718,00.html and it worked perfectly. Give it a shot.
Try to register the dll
Open a Dosbox and enter:
regsvr32 cards.dll
You have to be in the directory where the dll is located.
It is possibly that the regsvr32 has a different name on win95 (regserver or so... ??)
I am using NT4 (try to find regsvr in the system directory if the command does not work)

I get an error in the download file as well. I tried regsvr32 as well and got an error when trying to register the dll.
The file that you should be using is Cards32.dll

I don't have cards32.dll on my system, why is that? When I bought the computer it had W95 installed on it. The only cards.dll file is exactly that one.
Then use the Cards.dll, which is the library that the declarations that I provided refer to. Just remember that if you get a "Bad DLL Calling Convention" or some other simliar error when you call to one of the functions, to change the long data types to integers.
first, i'm sorry but i can't find the zip, but remember to
copy the dll in the windows\system dir to use it
