I just have a quick question. Will ocx/dll files (bnetauth.dll, csb, etc.) work in programming languages like Python or Perl?

If bnetauth.dll is a std_call c dll then most likley yes, but ocx's are COM specific libraries intended for vb which will not work without some kind of additional COM wrapper library. Also perl/python are scripting languages not really designed to host a UI in a traditional sense so i would say no for that.

BnetAuth.dll is indeed a standard _stdcall DLL. Or at least it was back when I was given a copy of the source code. It's been a very long time since...but I doubt the basic structure has been changed.

Yes, you can't have everybody...contributing to the main source repository.  That would be stupid and create chaos.

Opensource projects...would be dumb.
