Windows update may have broken SwiftForth and SwiftX!?

Has anyone else had this problem?

On two different WindowsXP-Pro systems, each of which has had the latest
updates from MS, I can no longer run either SwiftForth nor SwiftX.
Attempting to do so gives a dialog box saying that tty.dll can't be found
and then aborting. When I copied the tty.dll from the most recent service
pack into the home directory from which SwiftForth executes, I didn't get
that error, but instead got a series of dialog boxes complaining about not
finding a number of processes all beginning with "tty", and after exiting
from each of these dialog boxes in sequence, then I got the SwiftForth
console window and an immediate abort!

I'm hoping that this is a known problem and someone has a fix!

Live long and prosper,
Charles Ehrenpreis
