How to get instance of an object from a .dll file, which locates under c:/

Hi all,

I am facing a problem of creating an object, whose class is defined in a dll file.

Let’s say I have a dll file called word.dll. Functions in word.dll file are encapsulated in “word” class. So, there is no way I can declare and use its functions directly in Lotusscript before I can get a instance of the “word” class.

Of course, I can’t use createobject(), as it is just a dll file rather than a activex component. So, my question is how to create a instance of a class that is defined in a dll file and call its functions later. Can we do so, and how?
