Just a small clarification. I _NEVER_ said it worked on all platforms. Please re-read my page.

I said it worked on win 3.1, win9x, and worked on NT, but you had to follow my instructions regarding moving two dll's to make that work. It also worked under win2k, without modification, but I mention on the page that I didn't personally verify this. I only knew this because a user had installed it on his win2k machine and has been using it for a month now.

Guys. Please read my page thoroughly. Most of the problems people are talking about or emailing me, has been already taken care of on my page.

NT users. Please read the instructions regarding moving the dll's.

People burning coasters. Use winimage. I have always had the link on my page. Extract the files from the image file to a temporary directory, and then either install from that directory or burn the files in the directory ( and the subdirectories...keeping the file structure intact ), to a cd.

I don't mind helping others with issues, but please take the time to make sure I haven't already addressed the issue on my page.
