With Microsoft's tool (or the GNU tools) the __imp_MyData labels are
generated automatically in the import libraries that you use link into
your library.  (They don't exist in the DLLs themselves though.)

It looks like Borland's tools do it differently, and don't generate the
__imp_ labels.  It handles code import differently from data imports.
When importing data the variable in the import table gets called "MyData".

This might be the problem.  I don't think the implib utility can tell the
difference between data and code being exported from a DLL so generates
only code imports.  Try using the import library created by the linker
with the -Gi flag instead.  Then just use the MyData label with only
one level indirection:

	mov	eax,[MyData]
	mov	eax,[eax]
