Using LIB Files in Delphi



I need to interface to files produced by a device manufactured by
another company. That company supplies an SDK for accessing the files
but in recent issues it contains the access functions in a LIB file
instead of a DLL. The SDK supplies information on accessing the LIB
functions via VC or VB. I have satisfactorily used previous DLLs,
writing tranformation code to access the DLL.

How can I use the LIB file under Delphi. Is there a simple approach,
or maybe I have to get a C programmer to write a DLL which wraps the
LIB file.

Any suggestions please
