A software mechanism allowing a Windows 3.1application to call a 32-bit {dynamically linked library} (DLL) under {Win32s}. The Windows 3.1application which wants to call an entry in a 32-bit DLL instead calls a corresponding entry in a 16-bit DLL. The programmer must also include code to detect whether the 32-bit DLL is loaded. A 32-bitEXE loads the 32-bit DLL. See also Generic Thunk, Flat Thunk. ["Calling a Win32 DLL from a Windows 3.1 Application", Win32 SDK Knowledge Base, Article ID Q97785]. [Better explanation?] (1997-10-11)
