Ugh!
So many compilers, so many systems...
As far as I can make out, this is a problem with only Win9x
machines, and with the precompiled binaries. I've got a
(different) binary that works on Win98 compiled under the
Metrowerks compiler, but the precompiled ones are compiled
with another compiler. (Licensing issues, etc)
I'll work on this problem today.
