Hi Ralph,

Yes, I do recompile my program as I am running it directly from Visual Studio,
i.e., not a compiled exe version. What puzzles me is that if do exchange the
libcurl dll, my program reports that *no* libcurl dll is found, even though the
file is in the exact same folder and has the exact same file name. If the newer
version, however, is not compatible, I would expect some sort of other error
message hinting at the incompatibility.

Second, I was wondering why the old version 7.13 has a size of some 600 kb
whereas version 7.19.6 only has about 400 kb -- or am I trying to use an
inappropriate version? I downloaded my copy from
http://www.gknw.net/mirror/curl/win32/curl-7.19.6-devel-mingw32.zip.

Cheers,
Joerg
