Thanks for the report.

Can't help with that.

Bummer, I tested with Take Command (the successor of 4NT), so the
problem didn't show up because of a different name. Maybe I shoud
remove those lines altogether. There is a chance that our batches will
work on WinNT as well, but I can't be sure (there are some differences
and I don't have WinNT to test with). Oh well, I will remove this
extara check and in the worst case I will get compliants from winnt
users (hopefully there are not that many of them left our there).

Cheers,
