I guess you could try --debugmsg +file to see how it is trying to open
it, and hack that function to recognize and ignore the leading garbage,
if that is really what it is trying to open.  Do not expect a M$ error
message to tell the truth.  Do not expect much help from DDK2K\HELP, for
M$ is a liar and the truth is not in it.
