    Hi,

    Go with the EXE. The DLL are generally used to store functions that can be used by multiple application (exe).

    DLL's are not standalone applications, they are not executable in other words, the big difference between executables and dynamic link libraries is that all classes are private in a exe while a dll can share their classes to other projects. There's no which is better, they serve different purposes.

    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
