I'm still a little concerned about the declarations though. Before
I had:
typedef int (CALLBACK* _OpenFileType)(LPCTSTR);
according to all the tutorials, but then I got an error, which
suspected I had a declaration mismatch. So I took out the CALLBACK and
it worked fine. I want to be sure that I have it right. Exactly how
should I declare the function type if the above declaration was used
in implicit linking?

I recommend putting CALLBACK back in. CALLBACK is a macro that expands
to __stdcall. Without it, by default you would have __cdecl calling
convention. __cdecl is basically only supported by C and C++ compilers,
whereas __stdcall would allow your DLL to be used from pretty much any
language capable of targeting Windows (almost all functions in Win32 API
use __stdcall calling convetion, so it's a de facto standard).

I don't have that option. The DLL was written w/__cdecl functions,
so I can't use __stdcall.
