  45 Notes:
  46
  47 If you change anything in the source files, or select different compiler
  48 settings, please change the DLL name to something different than any of
  49 the above names.
  50
  51 Also, make sure that DLLFNAME_POSTFIX and (PRIVATEBUILD or SPECIALBUILD)
  52 are defined when compiling the resource file.  DLLFNAME_POSTFIX contains
  53 the trailing letters that come after the version number.  PRIVATEBUILD
  54 and/or SPECIALBUILD store information describing the type of change made
  55 in the VERSIONINFO structure.  Please refer to MSDN for more information
  56 on the used macros and the nature of their content.  For an example on
  57 how to define these macros, look at the resource compiler settings for
  58 the "Win32 DLL VB" configuration.
  59
  60 All DLLs built by this project use the Microsoft dynamic C runtime library
  61 MSVCRT.DLL (MSVCRTD.DLL for debug versions).  If you distribute any of the
  62 above mentioned libraries you should also include this DLL in your package.
