C / C++ / MFC

1. Regular libs are just compiled pieces of code you can link and use without further dependencies from DLLs.
   
2. Import libs are static libraries you can use to dynamically link functions from a DLL. These import libs search the DLL at tun-time, locate the functions and load them for the app to use, roughly speaking. DLLs can be used without this aid, though usually is best to rely on import libs to do the job.
