Hi Mark,

In IDL6.3, the "idl32.dll" was renamed to "idl.dll" so that both the 32-bit
and the 64-bit Windows would have the same DLL name (same thing for
"idl.lib"). This makes it simpler for someone to have a makefile that they
can use to compile their own DLL on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, and not
have to change the IDL library name. This change is documented in the IDL6.3
release notes.

In any case, the entry points have changed enough between IDL6.2 and IDL6.3
that a previously-compiled dll will not work, even if the library names
hadn't been changed. So really, someone needs to recompile the avi.dll and
link it against IDL6.3.
