[ADMB Users] ADMB 64 MS visual 10 -- Building DLL issues

[Brandon Chasco]

I know that Bob Lessard with Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission
has built a number of VB applications that use ADMB DLLs.  I have built
several myself but it was with a much older version of ADMB and compiled
using Visual Studio 6.0.  Quite frankly Bob held my hand most of the way in
terms of getting the linking correct.  You may want to contact him directly
as I don't believe he is part of the ADMB list serve.  He could probably
help develop some instructions for Windows users.
