Is it really a _corrupt_ DLL? So far I was under the impression that it 
had merely become incompatible with some host apps. If it's corrupt then 
there's of course nothing to do for us. A more graceful handling of DLL 
load errors might still be a good idea though... Crashes never look good 
regardless of whether it's ultimately your fault or not.

Now, this comes as a bit of a surprise... ;)

I am the editor. ;) I don't use any WYSIWYG tools for simple HTML pages 
without complex tables. Just give me syntax highlighting and maybe a 
"tag-insight" dropdown and tag-autocompletion and I'll be happy... :] I 
might eventually try to push the files through a validator though and 
attempt to make them comply... they're rather far from it at the moment.

I probably won't have enough time to tackle the shell actions redesign 
we discussed myself for at least another week, especially as it's again 
a new area of MFC programming which I am not comfortable with yet. I 
would however be wary to release it in its current form as a 
"recommended" release...
