070803 - Found the main problem was the path specified in autoexec.bat was not
070804 - entered for various options to boot his computer.  Seemed to get this

071212 - Windows 95 Path Problem Fixed
071213 -
071214 - I checked his autoexec.bat file and found it has a series of levels
071215 - (GOTOs) for menu options he selects at start up.  The option he is
071216 - selecting does not have c: sd 01 and c: 01 02 in the path statement.
071217 - I added the SDS path requirements and this seemed to fix both the
071218 - subject report problem and make 251.bat run correctly.  We ran
071219 - 251.bat and did some long searches spanning several years and it
071220 - worked.
