- Copy those files to a directory on your hard drive and make sure that that
- drive is in the path specified in your autoexec.bat. That's all I needed to do
- to get this to work. And to make this last past future installs of the OS,
- create a new directory (/WINDLL) and put the files there. I make it a practice
- to keep as much stuff as possible out of the OS directory hierarchy to make
- re-installs less painful.
