PCSCConnector Under Windows 98/Me

We're currently using PCSCConnector from http://www.nobbi.com.

Works like a champ, but I've hit one snag. Under Windows 98/Me you have to
install MS's PCSC Base Components. This installs a WinScard.dll dated from
1997. OS's with built-in PCSC support use a WinScard.dll dated 2000 or
later. The later DLL's export a function SCardIsValidContext which the
earlier one does not. PCSCConnector uses the SCardIsValidContext function.

So our PCSCConnector app doesn't function under Windows 98/Me, and, if I
try to simply replace the older DLL with the newer, the PCSC Resource
Manager fails to start.

Is anyone successfully using PCSCConnector under Win 98/Me?

Thanks to all.
