Joiks!  Sounds bad.  *Really* bad.

People, until this is all hashed out, *don't* download the new LDAO files.
Especially not the complete download.

I will double-check the files, and see if I can determine any problems from my
end -- either the file getting corrupted on the upload, or the wrong system
files being included in the installation.

I just downloaded the "only files that have changed" and everything works for me, including the inliner (YAY) so there isnt any problem with ldaddon.exe itself :) (26 years ago, 4-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad)
