Including me - Hurray!

I just tried on a far more modest win98SE machine that I chiefly use
as an EPROM/PAL programmer, and I get the same invalid page fault crash as
below, it's even at the same address, and most of the registers are
identical!

This machine has 40MB RAM and 357MB free-space on the only drive. It
also has different environment settings which I'll look into,

cheers,
John.
