WinHugs cannot find its prelude

Hi,

the 'restore' utility available from my Hugs PowerToys web page ought
to take care of clearing this one up:

(Only available as C source code; let me know if you don't have a C compiler
laying around & I'll make a binary available.)

You may want to consider upgrading your Hugs install to the Dec 2001
release though. It does, amongst other things, put in checks that prevent
the situation below from arising.

I don't know if this was a bug on the part of my computer or hugs but I
thought I would mention it to you guys. I had been using winhugs
successfully for about six months when one day it just can't find the
prelude anymore. I can't tell you anything more than this: it shows the
fatal error message "unable to load prelude" and then closes itself.
Thanks
