[pchelpers] Re: Troubles with W98

Also, I don't think I have ever remembered the sys command written that way.
Usually it is written with the command first; i.e. 'sys a: c: '

What worries me is the fact that they had to replace many missing/corrupted
files.  We have narrowed it down to three main things when that happens.
Virus  - bad memory - bad hard drive.  There are other things of course but
something is messing up windows.
