GCC 2.95.3-5 produces .exe un-executable under w98 and ME

[Charles Wilson]

I'm glad you were able to find the answer to your problem (I'm not sure 
how to FIX it, but there you are).  FWIW, I believe the reason no one 
responded to your thread was because no one knew the answer.  We 
*really* don't need 27 people saying "I dunno" to every query that comes 
in; if people don't know, they don't post.

Sorry, but it appears you stumbled onto a new windowsism, of which no 
one else (here) knew anything about.  Thanks for tracking this down, and 
putting the information into the mailing list archives.
