Subject:Sound Forge 5.0 - where to put plug in .dll files?

I'm still using an old version of Sound Forge 5.0 which is fine for me, but I have some old plug ins I can use with it (DX versions?) with .dll files.

Can anyone tell me where SF5 looks for its plug ins? What folder do i put the .dll files into so they show up?

Or I don't believe that SF5 has a folder in "options" they you can pick for plug ins? as it doesn't use VST plug ins

Am I looking in the wrong place?

If the dll is a direct x plugin, drag the dll on to Forge's window and it should get registered.

When I try and drag the .dll files over to SF 5.0, i either get

".dll is a binary file that does not support self registration and is mostly not a direct X plug in"

or

"The file C/audio/bouncy.dll could not be opened. The file type could not be recognised"

Now these are free older plugs that i thought I did have working previously in SF, and they are not VST plug ins?

If forge says it is not a DirectX plug in, then it is not.

How do you know they are not VST plugins? I googled "bouncy plugin" and found a reference to a VST plugin.

Have you tried locating the vendor of these plugins and see what they have to say?
