Some of our customers asked for the gbr2tiff.exe to be made available as a shared library. We've done that with release 7.09. You will now find a gbr2tiff.dll included as part of the package as well as an example shell program (with source and project files) that exercises the dll.
Using GBR2TIFF.DLL is pretty much like using the .exe in that the only argument to pass to the DLL is the same command line one would pass to GBR2TIFF.EXE.
Artwork ships a directory containing the source code and project files for a sample shell that illustrates how to use gbr2tiff.dll.

The return codes from the DLL are:
