I am sure this a stupid mistake on my part.... I create a DLL Test0.dll from
the following
file (Test0.d):
=========
module Test0;

import std.stdio;

class Test0
{
export
 {
  int Test0( string ID0 )
    {
      printf("<Test0: ID={%s}> ",ID0.ptr);
      return ID0.length+5;
    }
 }  // export end
}

export Test0 instTest0() { return new Test0(); }
=========
Lib listing shows the following symbols:
Publics by name		module
_D5Test05Test05Test0MFAyaZi      _D5Test05Test05Test0MFAyaZi
_D5Test09instTest0FZC5Test05Test0 _D5Test09instTest0FZC5Test05Test0


Publics by module
_D5Test05Test05Test0MFAyaZi
	_D5Test05Test05Test0MFAyaZi

_D5Test09instTest0FZC5Test05Test0
	_D5Test09instTest0FZC5Test05Test0

=======
It seems everything exported properly.  I wrote the following Test Harness
Test0h.d:
============
module Test0h;

import Test0;
import std.stdio;

int main()
{
	Test0 t0 = instTest0();

	puts("Starting main()");
	auto tret = t0.Test0("Harness Test0h");
	printf("T0 Ret=%d\n",tret);
	puts("Ending main()");
	return 0;
}
=========
with the following Import Definition file:
=========
module Test0;

import std.stdio;

class Test0
{
    int Test0(string ID0);
}

Test0 instTest0();
=========
Watching the compile in verbose mode I get the following with the concluding
error:

=========
I can't get the Test0 to be recognized.  If I add it to the compile then of
course it works,
and runs properly, but that defeats the purpose of the DLL.  Can someone point
out my error?

Found my own mistake:  In module Test0 the "import of std.stdio" caused
the error.  There was nothing in the exports which required elements of
std.stdio and somehow (don't know why) it caused ModuleInfo to be
incomplete or omitted.
