Local Windows Expert Response: :^)

I understand the issue now - NPT.DLL is built without a .def file or a /exports option so you are getting the default decoration. I wonder if it would be better to export nptInitialize and nptTerminate -- eg: add this to the Makefile :-

ifeq ($(PLATFORM), windows)
OTHER_LCF = -export:nptInitialize -export:nptTerminate
endif

If you do this you'll be able to use GetProcAddress(_handle, "nptInitialize");

---------------

This applies to the various transport libraries too, or anywhere
GetProcAddress is used.
