Actually, I've traced the 98 problem on Jim's machine to a filename 
issue.  No spaces are allowed on his system, yet my 98SE laptp has no 
problem whatsoever with filenames like "Getting Started.txt".  I have 
renamed the files to have no spaces, and he is now getting Portal-9 to work 
on his 98 box.  The 2K issue on his system is being looked at now.  Like I 
said, everything works fine on my systems, so it might be an OS setting 
that has an effect.  I'm gonna nip it though, and quick.
