abstract:

  The control is part of a project with a "main" executable, which you use to test your control.  After all the functions work properly, you remove the "main" and compile as a DLL.  You'll have to check with your compiler to see if it has that option.


I'm not an expert on this, by any means, but I have made them before.  But with VB and VC++.  And it's been years.
DLL stand for "Dynamic Link Library".  If you've made activeX applications or controls, it's very similar.  You make a control with all the functions you want.  The control is part of a project with a "main" executable, which you use to test your control.  After all the functions work properly, you remove the "main" and compile as a DLL.  You'll have to check with your compiler to see if it has that option.

You're still learning new stuff with Pascal?  Is Pascal even used much any more?
BTW: I was watching Jurasic Park with my wife last night when they showed a screen shot of Nedry's code.  I HAD to pause the movie and zoom in on it to see what language they used.  It was hard to read, but it was obviously Pascal.  (Who else uses "BEGIN..END" and "x:=y")
