Error after installing Acedb on Win2000

[Rob Clack]

We develop under NT4 which doesn't show this behaviour, but I have now 
seen it happen on a W2K box.  So far I don't know why, but I think it's 
to do with having recently upgraded to Cygwin 1.3.22-1.

For now, if you visit the DAILY page

www.acedb.org -> Downloads -> DAILY

You should see a (temporary) link towards the bottom of the page labelled

Windows 4_9q

If you download this, you should find it works OK on W2K.  Hopefully 
you'll not be too dependent on the changes we've made since then.

In the mean time, I'll get on trying to find the cause of the bug.  And 
thank you for drawing attention to the fact that we obviously need to 
test on other flavours of Windows than NT!
