 LP> Correct.  Which ones would I be looking for?

I have NEVER installed an OS/2 application that did not provide any external
DLL files it needed, so I would suspect that there is no need to actually look 
for anything.

I guess you must be thinking of the VBRUN.DLL for Windows programs written in
Virtual Basic. IMHO that DLL should have been provided by ALL applications
that needed it, however because it was so commonly used it was often
distributed as a seperate entity and was nenver noticed as missing because the 
user most likely had it. 

Probably the only DLL in this area that I use is VROBJ, it relates to the REXX 
environment, and it is often supplied with any REXX apps that need it. If you
are not going to work with REXX, then you wont need it (unless you end up
running 3rd party apps that need it).

Regards..........pk.
