Unfortunately, I cannot use Wine as a main process (did you mean the 
stuff
which is now made by preloader?). My project is a complex 
multi-threaded application,
and the DLL mentioned above is to be only the small part of it. If I 
had to use
this DLL in a simple application, I would certainly used Wine as the 
main process.

So, is it unreal to use windows DLL as a child instance? By any means?

Bye.
