The thing is findlib's official current version just doesn't. I submitted patches for the official source to Gerd 16 months ago and he very quickly responded with a test version 1.1.3 in SVN for me - regrettably it has taken *me* this long to get around to testing it. I don't know what Gerd's workload is like at the moment, but with luck there may be a new official version that correctly supports Windows soon! David
