Sorry all........

I'd made a typo in the autoexec codepage prepare line.
When Win98 boots you don't get much time to see errors flying past.
When I booted into MS-DOS the error was quite apparent.

The lesson here is don't post panic messages until you learn to spell
prepere with the 'a' it deserves.

Thanks
