  In my case, I do.

  As I posted previously, I tried including runtime CPU identification,
and it wouldn't compile - need some libs I don't have with SW9 (or with
SW10 for that matter).

  I wouldn't attempt to compile anything if it didn't have everything
that it is supposed to have. I never did understand why anyone would
want to cherry-pick among the libraries.

Sindi,
      If you want to have an attempt, I can at least put the soure that
worked for me, up on my website. Then, if you have a SW with ALL the
trimmings, you can have a go yourself.

        Ron
