No, not exactly, but in the original, I rem'd out the set EUINC, didn't have
the hang, then to test it, un-rem'd the same line, and it hung again.  Seems
to suggest not corrupt file.

Well, it just showed the Windows screen logo, and the drive stopped
accessing shortly after that point; with the set EUINC rem'd, it continued
on normally, & since it looked perfectly fine, I just re-rem'd it, &
re-wrote it above the set PATH, just to see what that would do, & it then
didn't hang, and the EUINC setting also functioned .
