(Apologies to all for posting this - I've tried sending via email, but
am getting an "undeliverable" message.)

Thomas,

  Thanks for taking the time to look at this.  I've
uninstalled/reinstalled (with reboots in-between) Py2Exe, and did an
installation repair on Python 2.2.1.  You are correct, I am using
Win98.  I also have tons of stuff on my system (a laptop), so there
could be "interference" from several quarters.

  Anyhow, the problem has remained.  The only thing I didn't reinstall
were the PythonWin extensions, but when I reinstalled everything, I
ran the build and the run test from the console, so I didn't use that
environment.  I suppose some DLLs or registry entry from that could be
at fault...(?)

  If/when I figure this out, I'll let you know.  In the meantime, I do
appreciate your effort, and don't expect you to spend time on this,
since I seem to be a very isolated case.  If you want to know anything
about my setup, though, or to give something a try, please let me
know.

  - Steve
