Wine has a nice implementation of msvcr71.dll, but not
the C++-oriented msvcp71.dll, nor is it likely to get one soon.
This brings back the question: what's a good place to
legally and freely download an application bundled with a full set
of msvcp71.dll et al?
Well, shoot. I added msvcp71.dll to winetricks a while ago,
but it turns out Contribute 4 also needs mfc71u.dll,
which wasn't included where I grabbed msvcp71.dll.
Happily, I found a nifty tool which shows which apps
come with which dlls:
http://www.programchecker.com/file/8133.aspx
and sure enough, at least one of those apps is free.
Guess I should update winetricks.
Contribute 4 actually starts up with that, but it got
tangled up when I moused over several menus,
crashing with some "native code threw exception"
problem in jscript.
