Subject: error running winhugs


Hi,
I recently installed winhugs on windows XP platform, and found that when I
ran the program from the winhugs shortcut that I created (or even winhugs
icon for that matter) I got the following error messages:
A dialog box saying: "FATAL ERROR : unable to load prelude" and in the
background was an attempt to open the winhugs program with the message (in
Red) of: ERROR: Illegal character escape sequence "\ W" "
In trying to rectify this I am attempting to change the compatibility that
is set with the "-98" command but have no idea where or how to do this.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Regards
Sam
