Hi,

Well, I dropped LIBC063 into \ECS\DLL -- which I
thought it what you were telling me to do -- and it
has made NO difference. I'm attaching a snapshot of
the screen from the crippled SM 115 that results. If
I need to remove the earlier dll from there (LIBC06),
I will do so. But why do I have the feeling this will
make no difference either ? Maybe this Weilbacher
build IS just messed up ?

I don't believe I ever had any directories that end in
\USR.

I probably do. If so, I may just have to keep SM at
level 111.

Per my recall, that was the case at one time -- don't
know about now.

You asked me to provide file i.d.'s, and this I did.
In the future, I can leave it to names, dates, and
sizes.
