Severity: important

Hi Dima,

I'm sorry, but this program doesn't currently support running on Windows 98
due to this and other problems.

Unfortunately, it seems the nice error message that would have told you that
isn't working.  I'll investigate.

Thanks for the report, and sorry for not being much helpful to you.
