Claude,
I've written a little C program that tries to open "\\.\LEGOTOWER1" and
on otherwise identical computers (except one is running Win98SE and the
othre runs Win2K) only the Win2K machine can open the file.
Of course, the LEGO tools work on both machines. I suspect that the
LEGO guys are opening the private filename returned by the API
for the tower instead of the special "\\.\LEGOTOWER1" filename.
I've uninstalled and re-installed the tower drivers on the Win98 machine
just in case, and it still doesn't work :-(
I'll keep digging.
Ralph
