Not all Msvcrt.dlls are equal, even though they have the same name. You will
need to copy the version of the library that you are linking against to all the
computers that you wish to run your program on. In this case you will need to
copy the library from C:\Winnt\System32 on the NT box.

I also recommend that you get Visual C++ service pack 3 which has the very
latest version of Msvcrt.dll in it; the original one that comes with Visual C++
6 causes programs that link against the C++ 5 version to crash.
