Kristine, Zhang, Thanks for all the reports on installing on Win98. My guess is that make_bats.exe that is supposed to make the *.bat files at the 'Finish installation' step may also be choking on the space in 'C:\Program Files'. Could one or both of you try installing into 'C:\Ifeffit' instead of 'C:\Program Files\Ifeffit'. That might get the start menu and desktop icons to work better -- and everything else is supposed to work fine. If that doesn't work, we might have to figure out something better. In the end, it would be really nice to have a small list of steps for getting Ifeffit installed on Win98. If it was as easy as: 1. put SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:4096 /P into config.sys 2. run the installer, but install to C:\Ifeffit. That would be good enough for now. Thanks, --Matt
