Note that this version does not install the shared Microsoft DLLs
MSVCRT.DLL and MFC42.DLL.  Just about everybody has the compatible
versions of these DLLs installed, so it was deemed unnecessary to
include them.  But if you do not have at least these versions:

MSVCRT.DLL   23 Apr 1999
MFC42.DLL    27 Apr 1999

in your windows system directory (normally C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM under
Windows 9X/ME or C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 under Windows XP/2000/NT) then you
should obtain the installation for these files from Microsoft.
