Yes. I installed 1.1.1 on three machines. One Windows 2000 machine had
a flawless install. Two Windows 98SE machines did not unpack the
documentation. Since one of the latter did have an older version of
the docs installed, there was an error as I described. The other
Windows 98SE machine just couldn't find the file at all, since the
docs weren't unpacked. Unpacking the docs "by hand" solved both
problems.

By the way, the tutorial uses a finger server as its example but the
Windows 98SE machines don't have a finger client, not even if using
Cygwin. I knew about learning curves, but nobody informed me about the
rocks along the slope :-)
