Actually, I tried to transfer all these DLLs with an heatbugs.exe file to a
Non-Swarmed
NT machine:
    cygtcl80.dll
    cygtclpip80.dll
    cygtclreg80.dll
    cygtk80.dll
    cygwinb19.dll
    tix4180.dll

I just left them in the same directory as the exe file, and then tried to run
it from a MS-DOS shell. It seems that once the DLLs are all there the
simulation starts but get's stuck somewhere in initSwarm(), at least I'm
guessing from the "can't find cstring" error message that I mentioned in my
previous message.

Hope your trained eye can spot the problem...

Regards,
