I've searched my HD for a trace of LoadDLL. And, oh surprise, I stumbled onto both the .bbc file and the .txt file with some explanation from John Ripley.
In the file John added a comment : Quote:
REM This code may be used and modified freely
Doesn't this allow me to send you the files for further distribution without infringing any copyright ? The files are LoadDLL.bbc and LoadDLL.txt

I'm no lawyer, but I suspect it doesn't unless Jon included "may be distributed" as well as "may be used and modified".
Jon was always reluctant to upload any of his libraries etc. to repositories such as the Yahoo group's Files area; he always made them available only from his own site. I would take that as an indication, in the absence of contrary evidence, that he didn't want them to be distributed.
I have been rather wary since getting into trouble for distributing the Windows Constants utility with BB4W, despite having written permission from the author to do so! He subsequently rescinded that permission and threatened me with legal action if I continued to supply it, so I was forced to write my own version from scratch.
What do the functions in the LoadDLL library do? I am guessing that they are straightforward enough that somebody else (not me) could easily create equivalents themselves.
