It fails to work on my Win2K machine, complaining about being unable to
find gdiplus.pll. Is there a compilation option where you can include
all the necessary dynamic link libraries in the executable? I know it
makes the executable larger, but it also gives a greater chance that
said executable will work on all the various differently configured
Windows machines.

Well, I'm glad this is up and running. Sadly, I can't seem to access
it. Server delay, perhaps?

I did include most of the necessary DLLs. However, while GDI+ (which I
used to process images) comes standard with Windows XP, it needs to be
installed on older systems. If you download and install the GDI+ files
from Microsoft, the program should work.

That works, if I then find gdiplus.dll and move it into the same folder
as the application.
