Talking is always going on, however with company directors that do not
understand the difference between effecting a DLL and effecting an entire
program it is going slow...

I am not trying to break anything, I have no interest in breaking into the
DLL as it has nothing in that interests me.

My sole concern is isolating it to stop it from interfearing with the rest
of my applications when, in my opinion, it has no right to intearfear in
any way with the normal operation of my applications - in my opinion such
a system constitutes a logic bomb planted in a 3rd party system.

In that case, the best approach is to load the DLL into a wrapper process
and create a proxy DLL that will expose an interface identical with the
original DLL and which will talk with the wrapper process. With that done,
you can still run production systems with the real DLL, suffering no
performance penalty, and you can debug with the proxy/wrapper. And you will
never violate spoken or unspoken restrictions on the use of the DLL.
