Yes, it's a 32-bit Windows app. I just haven't had to know anything internal about Windows apps before now. > Might you be bumping up against a dll that was "based" too low for > you? I'm only using Borland DLLs. My understanding is that they should not be "based". > Are you compressing the exe? Probably not.

Great idea, but I have to rewrite the fool thing in that case, don't I? Just a couple of questions: If the program is loaded into one "segment", why do the help screens indicate that there is a difference between checking and not checking the "Pack Code Segments" box on the General Linker screen? (This corresponds to the /P and /P- command line linker options.) Does this just indicate a lack of communication between a developer and technical writer, or is there a difference? And, I understand that BC++ 5.01 is kind of buggy. We have a copy of BC++ Builder 5. I'm wondering if I should try moving over to OWLNEXT on BCB5. Thanks for your patience and ideas. .
