so I downloaded this dll to static lib program and it seems to convert ws2_32.dll into a static lib correctly, compiles in fine, only when I try to use bind and such like normal doesn't seem to work, anyone know why? :(

If you paid $400.00 for it you should be able to get tons of tech support!!
You should have talked to Vortex, my friend the toolmaker, first! You could have gotten it done dirt cheap (free). Anyway, send him an email if he does not see this thread.

Erm......can I also have some ? That's to say if you can twist Vortex's arm.

I think Vortex is skilled enough to write a exetosit converter :)
E^cube,
Some people told that the dll to static library application could fail in some situations. You can embed a DLL in your main application and use it like a "static library"

Thanks Vortex, i've played a lot with the pemem code and haven't been able to load any exe's unless they were exe's I created with masm or exe's that had a reloc table, but i'll try dll's.
