- According to patrice@cenparmi.concordia.ca (SCATTOLIN patrice):

- >replacement does any dammage to my WINOS2 set up? The files are the following:
-
- > BWCC.DLL
- > ODAPI.DLL
- > LD.DLL
- > ODAPIQ.DLL
-
- No problem with these because they are not part of WIN-OS/2. They are
- Borland's specialized DLLs to support various things (i.e. ODAPI is their
- database standrad methinks).
-
- > OLESVR.DLL
- > OLECLI.DLL
-
- These are Microsoft's DLLs for handling OLE Client/Server operations. OS/2
- does not ship with these DLLs, but many applications (like Ami Pro) do.
- This shouldn't be a problem because Borland most likely placed the newest
- versions of these DLLs on the Quattro Pro disks. Other Windows
- applications you have may use OLE, but they shouldn't experience any
- problems with the newer DLLs.
