+rem   A comment on installing Gnus on Windows 98 SE that might help others: When\r
+rem   I ran the "make.bat" file in the 5.10.6 tarball I got a bunch of "Out of\r
+rem   environment space" messages. The solution was to (1) make a shortcut to\r
+rem   the make.bat file, and (2) right-click on the shortcut, setting "Cmd line"\r
+rem   in the "Program" tab in "properties" to include the parameters make.bat\r
+rem   requires, and "initial environment" in the "memories" tab, to the maximum\r
+rem   (in my case, anyway, 2560).\r
