Interesting. What "unzip" software are you using? It was zipped with=20
Power Archiver (I think....it may have been winzip, I have both)
Could the unzip software be messing up the dll?=20
i wasnt referring to the program used to unzip the distribution =
package...
i was referring to programs like PKLite that will compress an =
executable
on your hard drive, thusly making it require less storage space on =
disk,
but supposedly retain full functionality and speed...
there are programs like that for .dll's as well...
the idea is that you run these programs on your entire set of dlls
(in like windows/system) and instamagically you now have more
free disk space WITHOUT (supposedly) any overhead normally
attributed to programs like Stacker or Drivespace that perform
on_the_fly compression/expansion as this is 'permanent' compression
requireing no expansion...
many many programmers DO use this type of software -before- they
create the distribution package and ship it off...
wouldnt surprise me a bit if morfit.dll was placed thru such a process
before the distribution package was made...
some computers simply chokeNpuke when they attempt to access
.exe and .dll that are compressed in this manner
and as i stated before... 99% of these instamagic compression
programs *cough* dont work right *cough*
