As well as Tdol's question, could you also make a note of exactly which files can't be found and I will look into it for you.

Hi -

I use Win XP Sv pack 2

the files that come with the download are -

BC453RTL.DLL

bgtile.bmp

BWCC.DLL

datafile.dat

DIBDLL16.DLL

GLOSSARY.EXE

GLOSSARY.HLP

Glossary.swd

GLOSSARY.WFD

First I get - "ERROR LOADING BACKGROUND BITMAP"

then I get - "openAt() : Error opening file.

Then I get that again.

Then the program opens with a gui with an empty index.

Firstly, can I just check one thing: Did you unzip the file so that the directory structure was replicated on your harddisk (WinZip's "Use folder names" option should be ticked)? If you did not, then that is why you get these errors. Otherwise, please let me know and we'll try something different.
