DISTRIBUTION OF RUNTIME MODULES. I suspect you will get a deluge of responses to this, and most of them will be wrong. By "runtime module" Microsoft is referring to a separate library module that is not physically linked to your executable program. For example, there is a runtime module that makes compiled BASIC programs smaller. This does not refer to typical library code linked with a C program. There is no requirement that you mention Microsoft when you distribute a compiled C program. -- Rahul Dhesi UUCP:!{iuvax,pur-ee,uunet}!bsu-cs!dhesi
