Whatever, the workaround I was able to do was  copy comdlg32.dll from my old 
windows 98 disk and set the application for windows 98. Have not checked for 
any ill-effects from this yet ... The page fault in the debugger sited this 
dll, the first recognizable object on its output. See if the thing still works 
properly now that I can save files.

Hey, I have not run apps with native dlls for years. Originally, I always used 
native windows totally, for better or worse, until upgrades of wine choked on 
that. It was nice to have the old registry entries, i.e. for program 
registrations, active. In the old days, this all worked flawlessly.
