Paul,

I believe there is a problem with the win32commc.pyd (DLL) in the 211 build for
Windows 98.

(Disclaimer:  I am a totally newbie, with roughly 12 hours of Python experience;
so this may all be naiveté!).

According to DependancyWalker (http://www.dependencywalker.com/) the DLL file
win32commc.pyd is
looking for a system file called python15.dll.  I think it should be looking for
python21.dll.

To reproduce the problem, run the following code sample.  The "import win32comm"
will attempt to load win32commc.pyd and  fail with the following error:

======== PythonWin output start ==========

## end of file

Thanks for any help.
