RE: XyWin and Win2K paths

[Peter Evans peter@xxxxxxxx]

An (a)eon of internet-time ago, Paul Ambos pointed out that XyWin had to
be on the path, and had this to say about the method of doing this in
Win2K:

I've only got around to doing this now. It works splendidly. (Thanks,
Paul!) Incidentally, in Win2K it's Control Panel | System Properties |
Advanced | Environment variables | System variables | Path

Oh, Xy-irrelevant tip o' the day: Never lend your copy of *The Win2K
Unleashed for Dummies Superbible, Special Edition* to anybody. (Ditto
for any other OS of comparable complexity.) I did, and the fellow is
always apologetic and about to return it. If I'd had it at hand, I
probably wouldn't have had to ask this nitwit question.
