[DUG] MSIMG32.DLL

[Jeremy North]

It is because of the TToolbar component I would think. It now has an
option to draw as a gradient and that function isn't supported by
Win95 or NT4.

You can actually copy a MSIMG32.dll from Win98 or higher machine to
the Win95 machine if you are able to do that.

Alternatively you could write your own MSIMG32 dll that exports a
GradientFill function with the same params as the API one and just
don't implement it.

Or you could tell them that Win95 is not supported anymore.

cheers,
Jeremy
