[Ifeffit] Re: Questions about IFEFFIT and Windows 98

Bruce and Matt, 

Thank you for your help.  Things appear to be working now.  I made the change 
to the config.sys file (which changed the message from 'Out of environment 
space' to 'Too many parameters').  I then went to look at the xxxx.bat files 
and saw that they weren't there.  After hitting the make bats application to 
generate them and then clicking on the executable (from the C:/Program 
Files/Ifeffit/ folder) things seem to be OK.  (I didn't need to make changes to 
the bat files I guess)... though I'm still perplexed that I still get the "Too 
many parameters" message if I click on the icon on the desktop, while if I 
actually click on the executable in the folder I have no problem. 

I'm very glad that it appears to be working now. 

Thanks, 
Kristine
