Redistributable Libraries and Files

Many new Windows features are included in dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) and can be used in Windows 3.0 and Windows 3.1. If you use the new features in your Windows 3.0 applications, you will need to redistribute the Windows DLLs and related files that support these features. The SDK includes the following redistributable files:
