I believe this is because you have an explicit unload of the dll in your
code. Without this unload, I believe, you will not get a new version
when you load a modified version of the dll.

It used to be under Win95 that if BlackBox crashed in a dll and one had
to restart BB that even then the dll was not removed by still resident
in memory. Only after rebooting the machine would one get a new version
of the dll. This was (is?) a Microsoft problem not a BB problem.
