Hi Paul,
Thanks for the quick response.
One problem is that the module loader loads winapi.dll from ZBS/bin before
it checks the current directory, so it is always loading the wrong version.
If I try to load a non-existence winapi2.dll, the output is like:
no file 'C:\Users\derek.bailey\Documents\ZeroBraneStudio\bin\winapi2.dll'
no file 'C:\Users\derek.bailey\Documents\ZeroBraneStudio\bin\loadall.dll'
no file '.\winapi2.dll'
I assume I could change the package loader function so it searches the
local directory first, but that seems a little tacky to me just to solve
this one issue.
Take Care,
Derek
