Printing in Windows 98

For Windows 95/98, add this line to your autoexec.bat at the END of all other "set PATH" lines (Assuming the directory you installed Teacher Hera is F:\Teacher Hera).

set PATH=%PATH%;F:\Teacher Hera\gs6.52\bin;F:\Teacher Hera\gs6.52\fonts

Then save the autoexec.bat and RESTART the computer.. It should take care the print problem.
