Subjectcsound.exe & csound95.exe
	Hello.  I run Csound on a PC with Windows 98.  I've always used
csound95.exe to compile my Csound stuff, but the newest version I can find
at the FTP site is still v3.44, which is 2 & a half years old.  The
csound.exe file is up to v3.54, which is only 1 month old.  Much better is
csound.exe, I would say, except that I can't get csound.exe to run on my
computer.  I always get the error message:  "Failed to find DB file"
	So, my questions are:  Does anyone know why I'm getting this error
message?  Does anyone know what the difference between csound.exe &
csound95.exe is?  Does anyone know if there is an updated version of
csound95.exe?

Thank you,
Marc Poirier

There is a file containing messages in the language of your choice, 
probably called English.txt.  This must be in your current directory 
for the executable to run.  It is not enough for that file to be 
somewhere in your path variable.  I seem to vaguely remember the 
last time I compiled a Csound executable for myself changing the 
source so that it expected this file in a constant location...
