This whole process reminds me of how difficult it is to
pass IDL programs on to someone else and get them to work.
To call it a nightmare is to understate the problem by
several orders of magnitude. I've nearly come to blows
with clients over it. (Of course, in my case, it's mostly
because the Build Order doesn't get saved with a project
so there really is no hope whatsoever that what you send
someone is ever going to work like it does on your machine.)

But still, isn't there a better way?

Cheers,

David
