PFDATA is no different under Windows than it is under *nix.  The maps,
screens, prc, etc. need to be in $PFDATA$PFDIR/filepro/filename.

Under *nix, if "/hd1/deputy/filepro/filename" were where the files
reside, and "PFDIR=/deputy", I assume you would properly determine
that PFDATA needs to be "/hd1".

Now, under Windows, the files are in "Z:/deputy/filepro/filename",
and PFDIR is still "/deputy".  The same logic leads you to the fact
that you need "PFDATA=Z:".
