TOOL (Tiny Object Oriented Language) is an easily-embedded, object-oriented, C++-like-language interpreter. The purpose of this article is to introduce the TOOL interpreter and language from the perspective of a person who has a desire to include a scripting solution as part of his project.

    Description: Declaration of the class that provides an object wrapper 
                 over a dll that complies with a specific interface

                 This class acts as an interface to the various DLLs that
                 are dynamically linked into the process. It gets the 
                 addresses of certain functions exported from the dll and
                 allows the user to call them through a C++ interface.
