RE: Dia start errors on Win 98

I think it's %userprofile%.  It should look for %home% first (since those
Windows users who know about the HOME environment variable and set it would
probably prefer it be used) before %userprofile%.  NT generates the
%userprofile% variable; I don't think it can be changed.
