I think I am lost in the terminology.

I have a set of analysis code that uses my personal TMatrixQ class, 
which is like TMatrixD only with long double instead of Double_t 
elements. I need to implement on Windows now - the financial world uses 
Windows. I stripped out my personal class and used TMatrixD when I moved 
stuff to Windows because I wanted to avoid build trouble in .NET... My 
.dll file, which is a plug-in for Excel, worked great, but gave me 
different answers from the Linux analysis with the same inputs and same 
code (with the TMatrixD substitution). This code I describe so far has a 
.def file that "exports" the one function call to Excel (or to my text 
executable, or any other .exe that would use my .dll), but this might 
not be the "export" you are talking about.

Anyway, I must put TMatrixQ back in. I made a separate area called 
root_extend, just like I have in my Linux libraries, with separate build 
rules in .NET to reflect what Francois-Xavier's page says. TMatrixQ 
depends on ROOT more heavily than the rest of the to-be-implemented code 
because TMatrixQ (and TArrayQ, TMatrixQUtils, TVectorQ) inherits from 
TObject and needs all that Cint stuff.

So you think I can address my TMatrixQ problems with dictionary work 
only, and without making an "export library"?  Or do you now agree with 
Valeri?

    - John
