i appreciate the feedback ty,
if you d/l'ed the file in the first few days of release it may report a missing dependency because i released the debug build, the filename will have a capital D at the end of it..
..i did replace the .zip maybe three or four days? after initial u/l (i'm new to msvc, i hadn't changed the little window at the top to 'release' as well as select release from the menu..) which afaik should run... i've been making win32 apps with borland for decades, i've had a few users report some of the games work but shucks not too many.
best help i can give, thanks for trying to enjoy it :)
