just add to your linker when building

Code Select Expand

\MASM32\BIN\ML /c /coff /Cp test.asm
\MASM32\BIN\link /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS test.obj extraobj1.obj extraobj2.obj etc...

you add the same function proto's you would if you linked to it as a lib. If you have it as a lib you can use l2inc in the masm tools folder to generate the function protos in a inc, otherwise you can try http://www.vortex.masmcode.com/files/obj2def101.zip to convert obj to inc.

If the obj was made by a C/C++ compiler you may have to declare as

funcname proto C :DWORD,:DWORD etc.. for params

if its stdcalling convention just use

funcname proto :DWORD,:DWORD etc.. for params
