Up-to-date CL32UI?

[David Harris-2]

Is there an up-to-date version of CL32UI.DLL for use with CL32
v3.3.2? The version linked from the cryptlib home pages doesn't work
with v3.3.2 (I actually thought this had been fixed a while back, but it
doesn't seem to be).

If I had a .LIB file for CL32 (there isn't one in the v3.3.2 archive), I
could probably rebuild CL32UI myself, although the code generates
some pretty ominous-looking warnings in Visual Studio 2003... But
without the .LIB file I can't link it, and the process of back-forming a
.LIB file from a DLL for MSVC-generated code is baroque in the
extreme.

Actually, that raises a kind of interesting question... Why isn't there a
CL32.LIB file in the release archive? I personally dynamically load and
runtime link cryptlib so I've never needed the lib file before, but anyone
wanting to static-link to CL32.DLL would need it.

Cheers!

I thought it was too, although it may have been so long ago that the .h file
has changed since then, which means you'd need to rebuild the UI DLL.

Oh, 2001, yes, that'd need to be recompiled with the current cryptlib.h.

I think it was removed some time ago because people didn't realise it was an
import lib and tried to use it as a static-lib build of cryptlib, which caused
no end of hassle.  I'll re-add it to future releases.
