Summary: Problem in msys.bat under Windows 98 SE

Initial Comment:
I noticed a problem when trying to run MSYS under 
Windows 98 SE. It's probably more correct to say 
"under command.com", but I haven't tested it under 
Windows XP. The second line after the label _Resume 
reads: 
set WD=.\bin\ 
However, for Windows 98 SE (command.com) it should 
read: 
set WD=.\ 
 
I used MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe and 
MSYS-1.0.11-2004.04.30-1.exe. After the change MSYS 
runs fine.

An alternate solution is to change the 'start in' directory
for the desktop and start menu shortcuts.  Simply remove the
/BIN at the end.

I am using 98SE also.

I just stumbled over this bug report, after I solved the
problem by myself the same way and tried to make a bug
report here. I'm wondering this show stopper for msys on
Windows 98 isn't fixed yet.

Thanks,
Stephan Hennig
