How to make a DLL (Dynammic Link Libray) is dependant on the language being used. To edit it, if it can be called that, is done within the prgramming environment that created it. You need to change the source code and re-compile it.
You dont open a DLL file, you call fuctions within it and how you do that is also dependant on the language being used.

You can use a resource editor (which comes with VC++ or Watcom C/C++) to edit the resources found within any DLL file. The resources available within a DLL may include string tables, dialog box definitions, icons, bitmaps, byte aligned data tables etc....but that is where the free form editing ends. As Stuart has already indicated, if you need to modify code then you will need the original compiler for the job.

And just to throw Borland into the mix, if you run implib on the DLL, it will import that library so that you can use it with your Borland C++ or Borland C++ Builder projects.
