  If it's not in the archives, it was probably supposed to come with
gracvt.exe as part of the same package.  What package is this, by the
way?

  DLLs are module files containing library code and data resources
which can be shared by multiple programs.  Part of the .EXE header
tells the system "I need things found in these DLLs", and so the
system will load them into shared space as part of launching the EXE.
  It will load them if it can *find* them; if not, you get this error
message.
  The system will look in several places for them:  the Windows
directory, the Windows system (and/or system32) directory, the path
that the EXE is being loaded from (the DLL might be part of the same
package), or other directories on the search path.
