Ok.

Well installing the latest DLL does not solve the problem because it
appears the headers and libs need to be changed or something. So I
suppose if the B20.1 works OK I should stick with it for the time

But then again I might just spring for the CD so I can have someone
to yell at when things don't work ;-)
