Hi Neil,
It's really simple: put a set library command and after that you can use the library.
For example, put the fll file in the same directory of the .exe (or .app) and in you "main" program:

SET LIBRARY TO cipher30.fll additive

after that, in your application you can use the encrypt(plaintext,password) function.
