If you're writing code using Borland C++ 3.1 that uses custom controls, you know you have to include BWCC.DLL with your programs distribution. If you choose to link your run time libraries dynamically, you'll have to include other .DLLs, such as BC30RTL.DLL or OWL31.DLL as well. I have spoken briefly with Borland Tech Support about 6 months ago regarding the legalities of it and I was told that "Borland isn't out to 'get' anybody" and that it's OK to redistribute these DLLs. That's nice to know, but I can't find that anywhere in writing in my Borland package. I guess my question is: Did the tech support guy really know what he was talking about? What are the terms of redistributing these libs? I mean, what if I want to put these in an embedded system product I'm selling to lower-Slibovian sod farmers? -- oooooo ooo o o o Keath Milligan o o ooooo oooo oooooo oooo oo ooo o o Prometheus Light and Sound, Inc. o o o ooooooooooooo oooooooo o oo o Real/Time Communications o o o ooo oooooooo oooooo oooo ooo o internet: reaper@wixer.cactus.org o o o ooo oo ooooooo
