Summary: PythonWin run failure on Win98

Initial Comment:
After a new install of Python 2.3.3 and Python for
Windows build 201 on Win98, upon starting PythonWin the
following traceback messages are displayed:

---------------
  File
"C:\PYTHON23\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pywin\framework\intpyapp.py",
line 163, in InitInstance
    import interact
  File
"C:\PYTHON23\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pywin\framework\interact.py",
line 26, in ?
    import winout
  File
"C:\PYTHON23\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pywin\framework\winout.py",
line 26, in ?
    from pywintypes import UnicodeType
  File
"C:\PYTHON23\Lib\site-packages\win32\lib\pywintypes.py",
line 69, in ?
    __import_pywin32_system_module__("pywintypes",
globals())
  File
"C:\PYTHON23\Lib\site-packages\win32\lib\pywintypes.py",
line 62, in __import_pywin32_system_module__
    raise ImportError, "Can not locate " + filename
exceptions.ImportError: Can not locate pywintypes23.dll
-----------------

The same messages are produced by PyWin 2.2 on this
Win98 machine, although the same PyWin 2.2 installation
runs successfully on Win2k.

I believe this can be fixed by copying pythoncom23.dll and
pywintypes23.dll to your C:\WINDOWS directory.  I will fix
this in the next release.  It is a dupe of
