I seem to have a much more basic problem than ivar - I ran my program in winedbg and got this: > > me@my-computer:~$ winedbg judaica2 > fixme:ole:DllRegisterServer stub > err:rundll32:WinMain Unable to load L"-s" > Couldn't start process 'judaica2 ' > > So it seems to me that my problem is at a lower level - eg. the DllRegisterServer is missing something. Any suggestions? Happy Holidays[/quote]
