Actually, I never did get that aklog to work on any of my win98 machines.
It simply crashes (in AKLOG.EXE).  As have all the other aklogs I've
tried.

I don't know if it is some specific patch or something that happens to
be common across all my boxes, but I spent days downloading different
win98 aklog versions from all over the place, and they all did the same
thing -- crashed.

I still have no idea what the problem is.
