Wayne,

Norm is absolutely correct.  The file's name is BWCC.DLL.  MPLAB installs this
DLL to the same directory as MPLAB.  Apparently there is something Microsoft is
not telling us.  Windows and Windows 95 are supposed to look first in the same
directory as the executable for any required DLLs.  Apparently this is not
happening.  Either there is already an old version of BWCC.DLL loaded by another
program, or Windows actually looks in the \SYSTEM directory first for BWCC.DLL.

In any case, to solve the problem, copy the BWCC.DLL file from the MPLAB
directory to the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory and your problems should go away.

Yes, I had the same problem.  It is due to an "outdated" .dll file.  I think
it was the bwcc.dll.  Win3.11 doesn't have it in the system directory so it
uses the one in the mplab directory.  Win95 has it (I think) in the system
directory and uses it from there.  I copied the file to the system directory
and now mplab works fine.  BTW I am at work now (the Win3.11 machine) so I
can't verify the file name of the DLL that I copied but I think it was the
bwcc.dll file.  Someone else may be able to verify the file name.

Good luck,

Norm
