Hmm, constant error messages, how useless.  Can you try removing the
@echo off line from lilypond.bat, and see where the errors occur?

Is it an option to increasing the "environment space"?  Why would one
want to impose a limit at all?

It seems that we need a windows guru to look into this, sorry.

What I'd do is to run lilypond.exe --verbose <some-test>.ly, to see
the error that gs produces.

Do we have a success report with windows 98 at all?
