*SHUDDER* - I wasn't aware of this... 8-I
This looks as it could very well be possible at least.


$ find $(echo $PATH | tr ':' ' ') -type f -iname 'MSVCRT.DLL' -maxdepth 1
/cygdrive/f/WINNT/system32/msvcrt.dll
/cygdrive/f/matlab12student/bin/win32/msvcrt.dll
/cygdrive/c/program/matlabr12/bin/win32/msvcrt.dll
/cygdrive/c/Program/Win98RK/MSVCRT.DLL

NOTE:  /cygdrive/c/ <-> Windows 98SE   on this machine.

 Can anybody tell me WHERE those Win2K PATH components might be set?
It sure isn't in "My computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment
variables -> Path".
I've been hunting for it an hour or so now, SITD.
I find almost surprising that I have as little problems as I do, mixing
windows versions as I am.
