Thanks JB. 

All I was looking for if possible was the solution you
and Pierre are talking about. I agree about the
packaging and not wanting to move the dlls around
location wise. If the dlls can find themselves some
how if a path is not specified such as in a command
line option I am happy.

Regards,
