First of all, read the first line of my post. I unashamedly
admit my newbie-hood and beg tolerance from any Linux gurus
who may deign to answer my plea (sarcasm).
Not mentioned in my post is that the hubs I subscribe to
require either DC++ or Strong DC. I didn't feel the need to
mention that. My question is about a specific program. Doing
a search on DC++ does yield links to at least two other Linux
natives.
Second. The more information, even if not germane, the
better. Different Win versions = different dlls as far as I
know.
Third. Whatever. Mine installed itself as "drive_c". DLLs
went into its sub-directory of system32.
Finally. Yes. Outdated. Please point me to a current How-to
that addresses my problem. I believe bugzilla had a mention of
my window behavorial problem and mentioned three different
graphics mode..which I didn't know of..and I'll have to look
into it this weekend..
Thats why I am forced to actually use a news group to ask a
question to display my ignorance and ineptitude in front of
the entire world instead of just doing a search and getting
all of my answers the easy way... ;)...m
