There have been a few discussions about this on the mailing lists, but I don't unfortunately seem to have kept any of them (as I don't use Win95). Anyway, if you go to http://minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au and probe around a bit, I believe there's a searchable archive of the mail lists there somewhere. MBR would probably be a good search string 8-) If you do find a good solution, please post it here and perhaps it will be picked up and put into the FAQ - I can see this problem occurring again quite a few times in the future.
