Mike,
   Free software is 'free' support too. ;-)

   I went back to the Crystal page and found thiese instructions:

Download Crystal for Windows(If you don't see anything when you unzip
this file, be sure to turn on the display of .dll files: Go to "Folder
options" in windows explorer, select "View" and turn on "show hidden
files and folders". You'll then see the Crystal.dll file.) Older
versions of Windows may require a copy of the msvcr71.dll file in the
system32 folder. You can obtain that file here:
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcr71

http://www.greenoak.com/crystal/download.html

   At least they had some instructions and a pointer to the dll file.
That's not such bad support really. I'm guessign that you would not
agree with their system32 instruction?

   Thanks for your help!
