Which DLL?  I was directed once to a Japanese site off which I downloaded 
a DLL.  There wasn't however any help as to how to use the DLL and I 
didn't get any help when I appealed on this list for advice.

So like so many others I had to write my own GMP code.  A reference 
implementation would be a big help for GMP - which is rather low-level
and idiosyncratic leading to incomplete implementations in the programs 
I've come across.
