Helen,

This application is going to be for the general public, available for
purchase and download from a website. In other words, it needs to run
on any Win9x, Win2k, WinNT and WinXP box. It sounds like I'm going to
need my installer program to check for the existance of msvcrt.dll and
msvcp60.dll, and install them if necessary. Is this going to
complicate the install process, meaning my installer will need to be
concerned about installing the correct version of these 2 DLLs based
on the version of Win the user is running? Any suggestions in this
regard are GREATLY appreciated...
