> Be careful with those exits, you dont unload the DLL ;)

  I thought about the first one, if handle is zero there is no DLL, thus
there is no need to free the library. I couldn't even if I wanted to, hDll
is zero.

  I didn't think about the second one though :)

  Insert a FreeLibrary just before the second Exit, properly idented, please
...

  Heh. Oh well, it works if you test less then a million APIs ... No, I'm
not feeling OK, why do you ask? :)
