The tool to get the contents of a library or import library and to shorten it, where needed. This possibility mainly becomes to be interesting, if a programme has become too big.
The possible control parameters are ascertained by a call (without arguments) of:
impdef.exewhere the English explanation reads the following:
Borland impdef Version 2.0.140.1 Copyright © 1991, 1997 Borland International
Syntax: impdef [options] destination_name[.def] source_name[.dll]
Options:
-h emit hints
Whether in case of a translation of this programme into other languages also all option characters are to be translated, can be discussed.
The following call generates an overview to a Dynamic Link Library (DLL):
impdef.exe destination_name.def source_name.dll
The generated overview file *.def can be edited (mainly be shortened) by any writing programme and afterwards be changed by implib to the needed import library ([1997Lou], chapter 11.2, page 247-249).
