I am trying to package and install on another 
computer, w98, at the moment.  My dev system is w2k so it should be a valid 
trial.
 
.... time passes as I curse Bill Gates 
....
 
 
Looks like I have a workable deployment package 
that worked fine on a my test system.  The size is 1.7M so I will place it 
on the web site for download as desired.
 
Cheers, and thanks for you help.
 
Richard

The 
only problem is the P&D Wizard packs allot of additional overhead andyou 
will find your install will be ~1 Meg (maybe more).

Thanks - looking for the magic words now.  
Thought that was going to be too simple.

Unfortunately VB DLLs are not that 'friendly' ... they 
have to be registeredin order to work.  C++ DLLs can just be 
placed in the Plugin directory andwork.Richard will need to 
use the VB Package and Deployment Wizard to create aninstall thatwill 
register and install everything necessary.  I think thereis a 
command prompt registration (regsrv32 or something like that) but 
don'tknow much about it.Peter-----Original
