[PD-dev] help me with my DLL snafu

[Thomas Grill]

Hi all,
i'm sorry i haven't really followed the thread entirely, but it should 
be clear that noone should rely on "c:\program files" or  "meine 
dokumente". There are env variables for that, called ProgramFiles, 
USERPROFILE and others, so there's hardly any difference to ~.

greetings,
Thomas
