OpenJade, not surprisingly, relies on MSVCRT.DLL.  Are all windows
systems
garrenteed to have this file on them?  Should it be packaged with
OpenJade?

Sean replies:
Yes, the windows distribution of OpenJade should conform to the
Windows installation conventions regarding supporting DLLs.
In a nutshell each application is dependent on specific versioned DLLs.
The run-time libraries you mentioned can be MSVCRT.DLL, MSVCRT40.DLL or
MSVCRT42.DLL depending on
what version of Visual C++ the applicatioin is built with.  Just for
grins Microsoft broke thier own DLL naming convention as applications
built with
VC++ 5.0 and VC++ 6.0 both reference a MSVCRT42.DLL on the surface..
However the VC++ 5.0 MSVCRT42.DLL does not match the VC++ 6.0
MSVCRT42.DLL!
A VC++ 6.0 application will have problems with the VC++ 5.0
MSVCRT42.DLL.

Take care!
