Re: tty.dll and I/O-personalities

The requirement for TTY.DLL is dependent on how you are
creating the application. Please be more specific, and
include the actual code example, and we'll try to help.

In general, a standalone application should not need
TTY.DLL -- but if you use the "STARTER" function in SwiftForth,
it assumes that you are creating an application which requires
the dictionary and presents an interactive environment which
does use TTY.DLL.

A proper stand-alone windows application will not use
STARTER but will revector 'MAIN and does not require TTY.DLL.

Other issues might be that you are executing one of
the console I/O functions such as KEY or EMIT or TYPE etc,
which do require TTY.DLL to be present, and will create
more issues.
