I actually have two versions, one on my own Windows 95 installation and one on
my work Windows NT. When I bring up "Properties..." on both of these:

1. Windows 95 version (DLL version 4.0) says that it is from the "Microsoft�
Windows(TM) Operating System", so I assume that it was on my original Windows
disks. If the people who are looking for it are running Windows 95, then it's
probably on their disks/CD but there is just some option they haven't used
which installs it.

2. Windows NT version (DLL version 5.0) says that it is from "Microsoft
Exchange" and has the comment "Service Pack 1". Same reasonong as above for
Microsoft Exchange, and SP1 is freely downloadable if not already installed on
a computer when it is bought (or at least, I was told that it was available).

So in either case, I believe to the best of my knowledge that the appropriate
DLL is freely distributable to people who already own a copy of either Windows
95 or NT.

Please tell me if I am wrong on this. I haven't sent a copy to anyone yet and
if anyone asks I shall wait until I get an answer on this newsgroup.

Cheers,
