This program does not seem to work on Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. Alteast not for me. I get the following error:
The application has failed to start because MFC71U.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
I will do some research on this and see if I can fix the problem. Anyone with info on this, please do tell.

As promised, I would update you guys on whether or not I create a dedicated review page for GOTD.
I did make it, and you can click here to access it.
I will post there if I find a fix for this problem.
Solution to MFC71U.DLL error:
Download the .DLL file from here and place it in your C:/Windows/System folder.
…and how exactly is this useful for “strictly personal use”???
