I have a library (lib file + .h header file). I like to turn it into a DLL so I can easiliy use it in VB6. Is there a convenient way to do this?

The DLL's . cpp files and internal header files can happily #include both public and internal header files, of course.
H Declares the interface to a library - including functions, structures, and constants. Written in the C language. LIB Either declares the binary interface to a dynamic library (DLL) or contains the binary code of a library.
LIB vs DLLLIB is a static library where functions and procedures can be placed and called as the application is being compiled. A DLL or Dynamic Link Library does the same function but is dynamic in a sense that the application can call these libraries during run-time and not during the compilation.
Simply include the header file an a .def file in a new dll project and link it with the static lib.
The details of how to export symbols with a def file are here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d91k01sh(VS.80).aspx
