Yes - but win32evtlog.pyd _should_ be such a DLL.  It should magically 
register itself as a valid source of such messages.

All of the messages it comtains are generic - eg, often simply of the 
form "%1" - meaning that they are pretty pointless from an 
internationalization point-of-view - but they _should_ still work (and 
have been known to) for the simple use they were intended.

Mark.
