Question:
Can I use 16-bit DLLs in 32-bit PowerBuilder 5.0?

Answer:
The short answer is no. If you have access to the source, you could writea thing called a thunk layer, which allows 32-bit applications to call 16-bit code, but this would take a lot of effort. If you did have the sourcecode, it would be easier to recompile the code into a 32-bit versionof the DLL and just have two DLLs.
