tty.dll and I/O-personalities

Greetings,

I have written a small application to create HTML snippets
out of a simple configuration file. The script works correctly
when executed within the IDE, but fails to do so in the saved
.EXE file.

Some experimentation showed the (missing) initialisation of
tty.dll to be the culprit. If I have /TTY-DLL in the 'MAIN
code, the program is executing the configuration data and
creating the required files, if /TTY-DLL is not executed,
the deployed application fails *silently* without any warning.

I'm not sure why tty.dll is required, when I'm only using
emit and type within the [buf ... buf]-personality.

My questions:

1. Is there a way to remove the dependency on tty.dll?
2. If I were deploying this application to other people,
   is tty.dll freely redistributable?

Kind regards,
s.
