July 1, 1994. AndyH. This DLL build here (oledll2.dll) is statically linked by oleimpl.dll. Oleimpl.dll is used as an inprocserver by the OleBind test. Until July 1, 1994, oledll2.dll would only have loaded if it was on the client's path. Or: if oleimpl.dll was registered with a full path (C:\FOO\OLEIMPL.DLL) and OLEDLL2.DLL was in the same directory BUT C:\FOO wasn't on the path, the OLEIMPL.DLL would fail to load. To test the current functionality, put both OLEIMPL.DLL and OLEDLL2.DLL in some directoy that is not on the path. Register the full path to OLEIMPL.DLL and run OLEBIND.
