I can confirm at a first pass that the precompiled emulator.dll replacement
works on my Vista machine. That is, I was able to reproduce the problem with
a few simple {Browse} commands, replace the old emulator.dll with the new
one, and then the problem seemed to go away.I don't have any extensive Tk GUIs per se with which to test, so if anyone has some code they want me to try, I'm set up for it. - Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Behalf Of Boriss Mejias > Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2008 8:28 AM > To: Mozart users > Subject: Re: Patch for Mozart on "Windows Vista" > > Boriss Mejias wrote: > > Hi Wolfgang, > > > > Thanks for the contribution.
