Actually, the version of dllfix.exe on my web page is not a newer version, 
it's something I picked up from the mailing list. I'll update the verbiage
to make sure there is no confusion.

Has anybody built DLLs on W95 using egcs and encountered the same problem?
I've built a few test ones and it seems to work, but my test cases were
trivial at best and it might not show the problem.

I'll try building coolview on W95 using egcs and let the mailing list
know if I have similar problems or not.
