VC6 question (extension related)

i have an extension which uses a huge chunk of static data (about 1 Meg). instead of compiling it into the extension, i set up a sub project to compile the data into a shared object/DLL so memory could be more efficiently used across multiple processes. in any case i exported the data (or so i thought) from the DLL, but in the debugger all i get is NULs. is it possible to export global variables of arbitrary type in VC6, or are we limited to primitive types ? l0t3k BTW - the data is essentially a byte array prefixed by a header and TOC
