If you are having problems with RoutPlan, please read the following
RoutPlan is a Windows 32 bit executable and will only run under Windows 95, 98 or NT 4. It has not been tested under NT version 3.51 and will probably not work correctly for the reasons outlined below.

Do not expect the program to perform faultlessly. If you experience problems please mail me at thunderbolt@dial.pipex.com with an explanation of what went wrong and your basic system details.

RoutPlan uses some of the functionality contained in later versions of the Windows Common Controls; these are shipped with Windows 98, Internet explorer 4.0+ and the later service packs for NT4. If the program terminates with a warning about requiring a later version of COMCTL32.DLL then you need to update your system, IF YOU DO NOT SEE THIS MESSAGE THEN YOU DO NOT NEED TO UPDATE YOUR SYSTEM
There are a number of ways to get the required version of the Common Controls:-
Whatever method you choose to adopt, please do not blame me if things go wrong during the update process, Windows is not mine (mercifully). If you would rather not update, then regrettably you will not be able to use RoutPlan in it’s current form.
