This is likely to be correct. The start to any NDS aware program is
to initialize the libraries, and the init call has to find the Unicode
stuff on the path.

The unicode files are mostly irrelevant. Yes, only the ones for the
current language will be used, and unless you're actually *using*
them, you'll never need them.

David,

Thank you very much for the reply.

NetLib is a "black box" to me. I do not know its internals. Since its
authors published a knowledgebase article about this requirement I
accept it
as such.

When we were investigating one of the problems in the field we've
discovered
that restoring the search drive mapping to the PUBLIC/NLS directory on
the
SYS volume has eliminated the malfunction. The PATH did include local
NLS
directory from Win'NT all the time.
