A bit confused. From the command line this morning on the Windows version of 7.8.1 , I was able to run r.external to link to a vrt raster file and it seems to have worked fine ( GUI is another matter) . In what way is r.external not working?

Which .so and .dll names need to be registered here, does anyone know?
