Can anyone tell me if R6 fills the Win9x "SharedDll" registry key with every single 
@#$!! header, include, exe, etc. file that it
might have occasion to use like R5 does? I've been having very strange registry 
problems with several other apps on my W95 dev
machine and tracked it all down to the R5 install logging all the files (with their 
correspondingly extremely long pathnames) in the
"SharedDll" key.

Keys in '95 are limited to 64K in size and very few of the files listed by R5 were 
DLL's, shared or otherwise. I would have expected
better coding from Metrowerks, like defining their own registry keys instead of 
dumping their entire list of files in a system key
like "SharedDll". This key has a definite and vital function in installations and 
(obviously) in uninstalls and it is not the place
to provide pointers to C headers and include files needed by a single app.

Whew! Now that I got that off my chest... is R6 better behaved? and worth the money?

Any comments appreciated...
