If there is strangeness in the path variable, or fragmented memory, the load may fail. In any case, if it fails and you think it should work, you should post a detailed bug report (preferably to http://www.delorie.com). > I once experienced on the machine where cwsdpmi is loaded automaticly, that > when there are two colons in sequence in the PATH cwsdpmi will not be loaded! The path processing code isn't very sophisticated, so if there is weirdness there might be problem. For development, this is easy, fix the path. For distribution, it should always find CWSDPMI in the distribution directory so it won't look at the path.
