Many postings to the announce list have been technical problems regarding a
missing dll. 

Quaoted from RevCo's page [http://www2.softchoice.com/revco/]:

"Cannot load wdirxxf.dll". A couple solutions.



•Download this DLL pack from DaKiller's Frag.com which apparently solve
some problems. 
•use "qwcl -dibonly"
