Well, 'read' isn't quite the right word for looking at a DLL. There is a tool that comes with Visual Studio and the Microsoft Platform SDK named depends.exe. Running that and dragging a dll into it will show you what functions the dll exports and what functions from other dlls it imports.

It's also possible to store string tables and resources like bitmaps and icons in a dll. There are tools to open the DLL and extract those, though I don't know of any by name. Try searching yahoo for "resource dll" and extractor.

Ok, either I'm doing something wrong, or a lot of those dll's are empty...

I m reading one dll "by hand" there is a Memory Chunk Table starting @ a special adress and in that chunks (defined by adress in file and length) r the ´strings used in FL... one by one with length and 2-byte-chars....
