Thanks for the info. Tried dependencywalker:
 If Borland compiled (--compiler=bcpp) all ok. Listed modules are:
    Python22.dll
    Kernel32.dll
    User32.dll

 If Mingw32 compiled, listed modules are:
    C:Python22.DLL                 
    Kernel32.dll
    Msvcrt.dll

and dependencywalker says that it cannot find C:Python22.dll
Since it specifically says C:Python22.dll I copied Python22.dll from
C:\WinNT\System32 to C:\ - but still get error message.

Still puzzled - any more ideas?

Andrew.
