How can i inport a dll in datastage designer

Hi everyone,
We have stille problems with importing a c++ (Borland Dll) into designer.
Our ETl envioroment stands on a Windows machine and we uses Parallel- and Server jobs.
For parallel jobs we can make an external routine that can use .os file (library file). For the server job enviroment you can make UnviVerse routines with the General Calling Interface (GCI).
With GCI you make routines from c or cpp (C) sources.
- You must compile these sources with the VS .NET c++ compiler
- Than you make a library for these sources.
- Finaly you uses GCI to make a DLL and put these dll to the GCI library list so you can call it in a server routine.
- Importing a dll directly is not supported
But they (IBM) have told me that I can use external dll's in Designer without using the original source.....
Can enyone tell me if it's possible to use an external dll in Designer without changing the dll?
