Then it appears that Rebase will never be part of setup until this
issue is solved.  We aren't the only two running Windows ME here,
there are others.  I don't think I should have to upgrade just to use
software.  I've tried everything I know to debug this, but it still
eludes me.  As more and more packages are distributed, the more
likely collisions will occur.  I know I haven't made such a petulant
post in a long time, but this really isn't fair!  [And yes I know "We
are mean", so don't offload that pile of crap..]  I guess I'm
frustrated because I can't find the solution to this problem.  I've
been working on and off for the last two weeks, analyzing test
printf's and gdb statements, but nothing!  AFICT, the proper
arguments are being passed, it just fails once they are sent to the
dll.  Somehow I get the feeling Bill Gates is out there laughing,
saying "You should upgrade..."  Well damnit, I don't want to have to
upgrade!  [And neither should anyone else for that matter...]
