And I uploaded new versions of FE 2.00 and FE 2.01 that include the missing .dll for sterling to my website, too. Marion, I don't know why your compiler isn't working correctly, you might need to download it again (if you don't have a copy on hand) and overwrite the files in your FE folder. If a DOS window appears and FE seems to do nothing, just hit the "close" button on the DOS window and see if the fractal computes. Hope this helps.
