OK, but surely that default location doesn't make sense, as you cannot expect 
any machine to have such a directory - and Amaya complains when it cannot find 
its cache! Therefore, either you should create that directory at install, (not 
a very good thing to do), or in a more standard fashion under NT, get the 
default system directory (I'm sure there is a API call for that! - I can find 
if for you if you want...), or ask the user where the default cache should be.

Thanks
