[M3devel] my status on win32

[Randy Coleburn]

Hi Tony:
 
Are you suggesting that when the program is built standalone it maps
libraries differently?  I know there is a difference between dynamic vs.
static libraries, but are you suggesting that a different library is
being mapped than the vendor's equivalent of the dynamic library?  How
would I check for this situation?
 
Your suggestion seems plausible since the source is not recompiled;
instead, the linker is used to change the way the EXE is put together
and that seems to cause the difference in operation as far as pixmaps
are concerned.
 
Regards,
Randy

I would perhaps suspect a bad library mapping.
