Re: Several problems with 2.5.27 version on Windows ME

I originally didn't look closely.  Now that I investigate, it looks like 
it was the comcast.net mail server that blocked outgoing email with .bat 
attachments saying "unsafe windows attachment - resend as TAR or GZ".

Yes, that is right.  I was thinking along the lines of minimizing the 
amount of "extra" stuff that a user would need to install to use 
lilypad.  Since Win 9x/ME will probably go the way of the dinosaur in 
the next couple of years, just wasn't sure it was worth the extra 
complication.  Maybe not a good decision...  Sorry if I'm showing a 
US-centric bias.

Actually, you need to link the unicode version of lilypad against a 
special library that then detects if the compatibility libraries are 
necessary, and if so, if they're installed.  My modifications for a 
non-unicode version of lilypad didn't include how to link against said 
library.
