Richedit and DLL's

Having browsed the net I have been made aware that this is quite a common problem. I just haven't yet found an easy (or any) solution for it.

I have written a program (delphi 5, borland) on a windows XP machine. When I run the program on a Windows 98 machine, the richedit formatting goes AWOL. Totally messed up. Now I believe this is due to different .dll's. How can I fix this?

Will copying the Xp DLL onto the 98 machine help? Or do I need to restructure the formatting on a 98 machine to get it right? (I really want to avoid this solution)

Thanks.

It's definitely the version changes over the different OSes. Try copying the DLL into the same folder as the application and running it then. If that doesn't work, back up the original and overwrite it.

also though you might think about making it work on the windows 98 machine and then it should be okay on xp with backwards compatibility, 98 doesn't no about xp but xp knows about 98 :/
