Thanks for the follow-up.

If I run the exe while booted from a partition which does not have
tinfo5.dll in libpath, the app won't run, so it's definitely linked
dynamically.

PMDLL says that less.exe is looking for:

libc065
tinfo5
gcc446 (which is rather odd)

tinfo5.dll is looking for urpo.dll, which PMDLL says can't be loaded,
though I'm not seeing a problem with this (or with gcc446, as the
alternate install definitely does not have a full gcc install).

So, what would I pass to the compiler to have the executable check for
both cases?

TIA
