Re: Runtime error "msvcr80.dll" is missing when using pre-compiled 6.0.4 in Win32

Thanks for all the help. I however able to create VC++ 8 project files
and made some tweaks in the headers that enables me to create "Multi
threaded (MT)" libraries of Mozilla csdk 6.0.5 along with NSPR, NSS
and Cyrus SASL.

I want to contribute my work to the community. Kindly advice how I can
help to produce my work, and compiled binaries for Windows32
platfrom.

It was a head banging, eye burning experience, but in the end the
regard was so sweet that I forget all the last days pain. Thanks
again.
