Hi Dilwyn, 

that's how windows works. Linux too. 

These are shared libraries that are not statically linked to the application. 
So if I was to upgrade Qstripper to use the latest version of QT,  then those 
same shared files can now be used by both applications. 

Many years ago, the best C and C++ compiler was Borland.  Microsoft advertised 
their compiler, as producing far smaller executables than everyone else. This 
was true. However what they neglected to mention was that all the shared 
libraries were already installed on windows as part of the OS. Which they are 
not, technically.

All the other compiler vendors had to ship their files with their executables,  
making the install much bigger.

HTH

Cheers, 
Norm.

Hi Derek,

I wrote it on Linux originally but the code compiles for windows too without 
any changes. I'll try and upload a Linux version ASAP.  I didn't get time today 
and I am away tomorrow. Probably Monday. 

The windows version is missing a file qwindows.dll. so that won't work on 
windows or wine at the moment.

Cheers,
Norm.

Save it in the same folder as the rest of the files.
