"set the externals" routine for enchanced QT no longer working

[Richard Miller]

Used to work fine. But that's not important. What do you suggest I do to 
get it working now? I'd prefer to have one standalone file. That was the 
reason for putting the binary data into the custom property to begin 
with... to avoid a separate DLL file to download.

Sounds like you are saying the below routine would work fine if I simply 
included the DLL as a separate file and avoided the custom 
property/variable approach.

Thanks.
