Advanced users: remember to relink DLLs when upgrading.

[Tom Meuzelaar]

Dear users:

If you use compiled rate law or heterogeneity functions, remember to relink your DLLs when you upgrade to GWB8. When you relink, be sure to:

• Since GWB8 is multithreaded, functions should be compiled with the /MD flag.
  
• Use the GWB8 header files (ratelaw_param.h, node_param.h, gwb_context.h), installed in \Program Files\GWB\src.
  
• Link with a current .lib file (react.lib, x1t.lib, or x2t.lib). These are in \Program Files\GWB.
  
• In functions to be used with X1t or X2t, avoid writing data to static or global variables in the C++ source. This avoids having different threads writing to and reading from the same memory location, which of course can have undesirable consequences.
