Many postings to the announce list have been technical problems regarding a

missing dll.

Quaoted from RevCo's page [http://www2.softchoice.com/revco/]:

"Cannot load wdirxxf.dll". A couple solutions.

•Download this DLL pack from DaKiller's Frag.com which apparently solve

some problems.

•use "qwcl -dibonly"
