I can tell you it works here fine too, though I have a CVS version
from about two weeks ago and I have BPL as a static library. And my
wrappers are so big they break MSVC if you include any debug info at
all!
Try enabling kernel loader snaps - these will tell you where it's
faulting. Find an article on MSDN by Matt Pietrek - ignore all that
modern crap in MSDN, it's a 1996 or thereabouts article which
typically MS have expunged from the latest MSDN's with MSVC7.1 :(
Cheers,
