Summary: Win98 SE pythonwin run failure

Initial Comment:
I installed the 2.3.4rc1 then your 201 build and found
an error when I started pywin.   The target system is a
Win98 SE /w 64 RAM 4 GigaHD, nothing special etc.  I've
run 2.3.3 and wiin32all previously and all was ok.  Let
me know if there is anything I can do to correct this.
 Thanks for your package it has made a real difference.

We had the same symptoms on WinME and we discovered 
that the pywintypes dll was on the system directory, only it 
had 8.3 file name. We renamed the file to pywintypes23.dll 
(also the pythoncom23.dll) and everything went OK.

this is a dupe of bug 917702

Solution:
1. Add C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM to your PATH (c:\autoexec.bat)

OR 

2. Move pywintypes23.dll and that other dll (py*.dll) to
C:\windows

OR

3. Move those files to C:\Python23
