Yeah, the same was true of the Eiffel compiler when I bought it. Eiffel, the
language for reliable software!
Anyway, chances are the person who tested it had already installed it and
wound up running it against a different file. It's the sort of thing that
happens when you've got a small shop instead of someone whose job it is to
spend extra time to make sure it works on a vanilla machine.

That's not DLLs. That's COM classes stored in DLLs.

It's not hard if every function is in a separate .o blob.
