With multiple textfilters/wordgenerators all exporting the same functions why aren't there name clashes? I don't understand and would like enlightening.

Where/why would you expect a name clash ?

Dunno really just when I used dll's last I seem to recall running into a problem with exporting the same function name twice.

Yes, but the functions aren't being exported twice in the same DLL, and the
function addresses are grabbed by EDB on the basis of which DLL they are
being called for.

Functions in DLLs are called by address. The only thing you need the
name for is to stitch up the function pointers with GetProcAddress and
that takes the hModule returned by LoadLibrary to resolve the scope.

This is basically the same as normal pascal code where you can have
procedures with the exact same names in multiple units with the unit
name being used to resolve the scope.

Thank you both. I feel happier now.
