As has been reported in multiple posts, the APL2C project has for
years been either abandoned or at the very least neglected by its
author (who apparently has gone incommunicado). The software however
is still available and works very nicely, with one frequently reported
issue: the inability to edit functions using APL2C's built-in
function editor (which refuses to save functions regardless of correct
syntax etc). Turns out the issue is simply an incompatibility with
the latest version of Microsofts riched20.dll (v3.1 according to its
Properties) and can be easily corrected by copying an earlier version
(v3.0) of riched20.dll to the APL2C program folder and adding an empty
file named "apl2c.exe.local" to that folder to ensure that this
private copy of riched20.dll is the one used by apl2c.exe. [If you
can't locate an earlier version of riched20.dll -- for example from an
original Windows XP CD-ROM -- contact me and I'll send you a copy . I
don't think Microsoft will hate me for it :-)]

Would it be possible to send me a copy of the earlier version of riched20.dl ?
That would be great !
Merci !
