- Some additional information garnered after more testing.
-
- If I add bwcc.lib to the .prj file and relink, my dialog box comes up
- fine. If I don't have bwcc.lib in the .prj, my dialog box will not come
- up but I get an error -5. No other changes to the program itself. Both
- cases link without errors.
-
- BTW, the file BWCC.DLL is in the directory SYSTEM under the WINDOWS
- directory along with many other DLL files.
