RE: loadLibrary

[Ralph <titojermaine@yahoo.com>]

You can use regsvr32 (this comes with Windows, and is used to register
and unregister DLLs) to register the dll.  I can't guarantee that
Java's System.loadLibrary call is just making a Win32 API LoadLibrary
call, but if it is, and you only supply the dll name, it'll check (and
it's been awhile, so don't quote me on this, but I believe this is the
order) for a registered dll of that name first, then it'll look in the
current working directory path, (at this point it may look n the
System/System32 directory, but I can't remember if it does that or just
assumes it's in your PATH environment variable), then it'll begin
looking through the PATH environment variable.
