Run CasualWriter 1.21 on some version of PB 6.x
It was found that CW casued "General Protection Fault" under some version of PB6.x. However,
you can d/l the major dll of dddk to run it smoothly. Just d/l the file cw6dll.zip (2.0M), extract and copy them to the path of cw6p.zip, then you can run cw6p.exe smoothly. Sorry for the inconvenience.
