implib crashing with .def files

[Andrej Mitrovic]

I don't know where else to post this.

I downloaded implib with the "bup" package, I've found it on this NG (ftp://digitalmars.com/bup.zip). 

Anyway, implib works fine when I need to make an OMF import library out of a DLL made in e.g. Visual Studio. But it crashes if I specify the .def file instead of the .dll. This seems to happen regardless of whether the DLL is there or not. For example here's a simple .def file (disregard the -----'s):

portaudio.def

Using: implib output.lib portaudio.def

The usual Windows crash dialog appears.

Btw. is implib really free? Because I don't see a direct link to a download on the C++ tools page, yet I've found this link to "bup.zip" in the newsgroups.
