password problem

[William Colls]

If your win95 installation is an old one, it may be using unencrypted
passwords. I believe I have seen comments in the list about a patch that can
be applied to these systems that will provide the encrypted password.
Unfortunately, I can't now find the reference for you. Not much help I am
afraid, but might give you a place to start looking.

Programmers, with their inbuilt sense of order and discipline, should really
be running the world.
