I did, and found out that all except msgapi.dll were needed (and unless
using bink 2.59, snserver.dll wasn't required either).

Oi, I might be silly, but I'm no fool!

Tried that too, and whilst it worked for a couple, I think that at least
one of them (msgapi32.dll) is needed for more than one app.  In the end, I
moved them all into my \os2\dll directory, and now let the OS worry about
them.  IOW, out of sight, out of mind.  I just remembered what I used to
like about DOS, too - no sodding DLLs!

Regards, Bill
