Microsoft advises programmers to delay the loading of DLLs at maximum to
increase the speed of loading of heavy Windows applications. And at least it
seems to work with Word 97!

How is this marvel-of-programming trick accomplished?
I'm using VC++6.0

The last issue of MSJ also has very good articles about this.

Have a look at the new delayload feature in VC6.

The traditional method is that you use LoadLibrary & GetProcAddress
and call the function that way. The delayload feature hides this from
you.
