[reply sent to hugs-bugs,
html version deleted - sending plain text in html format is high
on my list of irritating behaviour - it causes my mailer to
fire up a copy of netscape just so I can read a 2 line plain text
message. Why do Microsoft mailers have this as their default behaviour???

I guess you're using Windows 95?
The file is not included in Win'95 and programs which use it are supposed
to provide copies. We forgot to do this because:
o It is included with Win NT - which is where we do most of our work.
o The Win'95 machine we used to test on must have had a copy of
ctl3d32.dll which we got by installing some other piece of software that
needed it.
So all we have to do is send you a copy which you can either stick in your
system directory (with all your other dlls) or in the directory
you installed the Hugs binary in. The latter is safer since different
programs might need different versions of the file and there doesn't
seem to be any version control in Win95.
Unfortunately, we don't have a copy to hand - we only have one machine
that can run Win95 and it doesn't have it because we regularily wipe
the hard disk clean and reinstall what we need (this seems to be a
standard system admin trick for Windows machines).
Can anyone out there (ie on hugs-bugs) tell us where we can get it from?
[Half an hour wasted surfing the microsoft site failed to reveal a
copy - though I did learn that it is freely redistributable - if you
happen to have it.]
