What is the current drive?  What is PFDATA set to?  (If PFDATA is not
set, then the maps/screens/prc/etc. all need to be on the current
drive.)

Also, you should use absolute paths in PFDIR.  Otherwise, you are
saying "the deputy directory under the current directory".  If the
current directory on Z: isn't "\", the system still won't see the
files even with PFDATA set.
