OK, I see several .DLL files in F:\WVGUI\plugins, including WOOV.DLL,
DIVE.DLL, and SNAPOV.DLL. Whick one(s) might I need? What do I do to
install any or all of them? (I see one line in the WVGUI.INF file -
"DIVE, SNAP overlay, WarpOverlay support".)

Yes, I'm trying to work with your "limitations".

I did purchase SNAP, because when I got the Dell, only the Pro version
supported my E193FP monitor, and I've posted a question at
scitech.snap.graphics.os2.

Do you know whether this feature _might_ make WV run any better? Or am
I perhaps wasting my time, yours, and SciTech's?
