Nope.

[Forgive me if I get my technical stuff wrong. It has been a long time
since I last tried Windows programming]

Hmm...Isn't GetModuleFileNameW (the Unicode version of
GetModuleFileName) only implemented under Windows NT-based systems?
What is it doing in a Win98 MBCS-based system?

I'm not familiar with your build process. Perhaps you're linking in
the wrong libraries for svnadmin and svnserve for an MBCS-based
system?

Anyway, I'll be downloading the Microsoft Layer for Unicode (MSLU) for
Windows 95/98/Me. I'll let you know whether it solves the problem when
I get back to work tomorrow.
