Why I should use "DLL Explorer"?

If you are a C/C++ programmer you probably have already wrestled with "TDump.exe". This program let you dump the contents of a DLL. I mean it lets you know what kind of functions this DLL exports (along with other cool things). The bad thing is that's a command line program. You have to remember the switch you use and, if ever you supply a batch file, it's always boring to edit it just for a one-time switch change.
So I build a bare-bones interface for this program. The cool thing is that you can associate it (with Windows' options) to DLL extension files so you just double click it and see the TDump's results.
Another thing I want to point out is that "DLL Explorer" automatically saves the switches you've chosen so it will use 'em next time you start it. Seems nothing' worth the download effort? I developed it for myself but, having found it useful, I just dropped it here for you.
A final issue: if you don't have TDump.exe in your machine this program won't work (of course). I can't ship it 'cause it's a Borland product. By the way if you don't have a Borland compiler you're not a real C++ programmer (mmmm... I guess this is a great bullshit... ;)

Requirements

Being a simple program you must have:

• Windows (I dunnow if it works to NT/2000 versions right now, just try :)
• TDump.exe anywhere in you machine (maybe it works with networked drives, but not tested).

Installation issues

Once downloaded, unzip the files in a directory you choose. Then run the file with no parameters (that is double click on the exe): The program starts: now select File->Options... from the menu.

The options window appears: You have to specify you TDump's location (either manually or using the ellipses) and one (or more) flag(s). I almost always use the E switch only. Now select Ok. Shut down the program. Associate this program with DLL files (via explorer).

If you've done the things in the right way you should be able to use the program (you may try it on a "MindDial-Up" DLL, if you wish).

How to use

The program is fairy easy to use. Just lunch it double-clicking a DLL (so let Windows launch it).
The program works and than shows you the TDump's output (using the latest switches you specified). You can change the switches via File->Options or dump the results in a text file using Export->As a text file...
I hope the commands are self-explaining (but in the need... that's my e-mail).
