AFAIK DLL's don't need to be in the system's path.  If I am correct, then
extending the path is a bad idea (for system performance reasons).

My guess is that the DLL is not registered.  How does one register a DLL under
Win9x?  I'm not sure... I use NT, where "regsvr32 MSS32.DLL" would do the trick.

If, however, the problem _is_ that the dll isn't in the path, then copying the
dll to the windows directory (e.g. "cp MSS32.DLL C:\WINDOWS") should do the
trick.  This is still terribly gross though: there must be a better solution.
