license manager error on 2008 server

[Bruce Easton]

Update.  I found today by comparing another start-up script file for a 
windows system is that the following setting works as well:

set PFDSK=d
set PFDATA=d:
set PFDIR=/appl

( compared to my initial fix:

set PFDSK=/d
set PFDATA=
set PFDIR=d:/appl   )

But where I was getting those odd results after file creation was with 
this combo:

set PFDSK=d
set PFDATA=
set PFDIR=d:/appl

(with no setting for PFDATA and without the leading slash for PFDSK)
