Above I meant to say 'with the name 'pcre.dll'. Ping. Maybe this is a stupid question. I'm not really knowledgeable enough to know if what I'm asking for doesn't even make sense. I'd like to at least find out if it's a reasonable question that I'm asking. :) Bob Rossi _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
