Here is a test on Windows 98:

C:\TEMP\mt>monotone --version
monotone 0.16 (base revision: ce860bae312c4bb8483d5b3b2a8cd3bebe2323d5)

C:\TEMP\mt>monotone --db=test98.db db init
monotone: misuse: could not find home directory

C:\TEMP\mt>set HOME=C:\TEMP\mt

C:\TEMP\mt>monotone --db=test98.db db init
monotone: misuse: could not find home directory

C:\TEMP\mt>echo %HOME%
C:\TEMP\mt

C:\TEMP\mt>dir %HOME%
MONOTONE EXE     5.241.344  10.01.05  14:55 monotone.exe
... a lot of my files ... :-)
