Hi,
Michael Schierl reported that tests for directories like...
if not exist %GNUS_ETC_DIR% mkdir %GNUS_ETC_DIR%
... don't work on Windows 9x/ME. Instead he suggested to test for the
"nul" entry instead...
if not exist %GNUS_ETC_DIR%\nul mkdir %GNUS_ETC_DIR%
... which works on Windows 9x/ME. Could someone test if the new
version (I've just committed Michael's patch) works correctly on
Windows NT/2k/XP, too?
Bye, Reiner.

Looking at it, I'd have to conclude that it can't work. However,
through the innovations of Microsoft this patch does work on Windows
XP.
