Riched32.dll vs. Riched32.dll

[egrabrych]

Riched32.dll v.5.0.1461.82, 198KB (203 536B), modified 03/28/2000, derived from the hotfix 249973POL8.exe,

vs. Riched32.dll v.5.0.1461.82, 212KB (217 088B), modified 06/08/2000, the original Windows Me POL.

The same version 5.0.1461.82, but not the same file; different not only by date of modification.

Does anyone know about it something more?

The thing is that in Windows 98SE:

a. when the Riched32.dll file version is 5.0.1461.82, 198KB:

- WordPad when opening very large text file (export the Registry, 13 MB), reports an error message (in which blamed Riched20.dll file) and closes.

b. when the Riched32.dll file version is 5.0.1461.82, 212KB:

- WordPad works, not reporting any error.

Yes, with an installed "Unofficial Windows 95/98/ME Rich Text (RTF) Edit Controls Update" is OBVIOUSLY all right ... but not in this thing. Well, the discussion on the MSFN forum, which led to the creation of this patch, regarded errors in Riched20.dll file, not errors in Riched32.dll file (at least I have not read about "bad action Riched32.dll file"). In the same year 2000, Microsoft released two Riched32.dll files with the same version number, which later were not corrected (in Windows 98 and in Windows Me), but the effectiveness of these files (as I wrote ) is not the same. Perhaps it is only in my computer, and maybe not.

Riched32.dll of "RICHED9X" in English is UNLESS Riched32.dll with Windows Me (in the Polish version of "RICHED9X" is so for sure) - but WHY Riched32.dll from hotfix 249973 is different, do not know (but I would like to know).
