In continuation of last weeks post:- I found a utility called DTutil32.exe - can't remember where it came from - witten by Frolich & Panchero. It's essentially a wrapper for TUtil32. This utility works fine on my machine, but complains of missing DLL files on my client's system. Is there a way to find out (at my end) which dll's this utility is going to require so that I can include these with it?
