Hi Jesus,

 NT 4.x will only do DirectX 3.0. Exotica itself requires DirectX 7.0 or
above to work. That's why it's saying the Edx.dll cannot be found.
Actually, the Euphoria open_dll is seeing the edx.dll, but the edx.dll
fails itself when it tries to open other DirectX 7.0 dlls that are not
present. So, the open_dll routine see's the failure and reports that
message.

I Apologize for the troubles there. The next Exotica Version will
have a more meaningful message when an error occurs like that.
