Maybe it's in his Windows/System32 directory.

Yup, its already in my windows/system32 directory. I think my version of the dll is different from the one you include Fiendish, because when I copied the one from my windows/system32 directory into the mushclient folder, it worked fine with screen readers.

See: http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=12520&reply=5#reply5

One of you could report to the other one the version, timestamp, size, etc. from the Dependency Walker.

Thank you for this thread. I was having a similar issue and the answers here have been very helpful.

About llthreads, it can be linked statically, so it doesn't require the MSVCR100.dll file. I managed to do so by following the instructions here:
http://www.rhyous.com/2010/09/16/avoiding-the-msvcr100-dll-or-msvcr100d-dll
(The resulting .DLL is bigger, around 180k, but yet smaller than MSVCR100.dll.)

I recompiled/linked llthreads and luasec to work with lua5.1.dll, and they seem to be doing fine on the tests I've run so far.

Since we can now check whether a thread has completed its job, the next step for me was to try to create something like a wait.lua that would allow you to pause execution and resume it when a thread completed. My attempts were pretty far from successful though :(

I got this working with the vanilla version of llthreads, which doesn't support thread:alive(). I make a list of files that require to be updated, based on a Dropbox file that has a list of current versions, and queue/download them ok.

I can share the code if you want, though it's not necessarily pretty. It uses global variables and a timer.

I'm pretty sure there's a more elegant solution, which of course is eluding me. :)

Are you polling file timestamps/hashes, or do you only work with files that contain their own version information?

At this moment I'm rewriting the scripts, so we're in transition.

The old version is very primitive. It only supports plugins that include 2 functions, called via CallPlugin(), to check which files the plugin uses. So users needs to run an alias to update a particular plugin, or all of them, and the script doesn't check if the files in my Dropbox are actually newer.

For the new version, I'm keeping the modification timestamps in a text file in my Dropbox (auto-generated by a script every X minutes). The new script detects which plugins are outdated by checing the date_modified field in the XML header of plugins vs those timestamps. I still haven't decided how to handle other files (modules, images, etc.). For now, they're all updated, brute-force, but I'll probably use hashes when I get to that stage.


Also, I rebuilt llthreads.dll, and it's 72 kbytes, statically linked (so it doesn't require msvcr100.dll.) I had toggled some stuff for testing, which made the file bigger.
