Most operating systems don't have CP/M-type "disk letters" and multiple
roots; many cross-platform scripts can be baffled by this. 

Sometimes you just need to go through ALL your settings and make sure
they have drive letters. 

> disk c:\ 

Tip: when setting up webservers and their frills, unless told otherwise,
only use the forward-slash "/" to define paths, even on DOS\Windows. In
almost all cases, this works (even at a Windows command line); C and
Perl programmers use "\" for something else so if they didn't handle the
DOS case perfectly the \-ed path gets mangled. 

For your quickie performance test: it may be easiest to move some stuff
off of C: to D:, then install your scripts on C:. When tested, move
stuff back. Mass-copying may be quicker than wondering why the program
does not like "D:\".
