My solution was to setup a subdirectory under \WINDOWS called CONFIG.  In
\WINDOWS I have a debug version of WINDOWS installed (the so-called "slow-boot"
which it is not) and in \WINDOWS\CONFIG I have all of the .GRB, .LGO, .FON,
and .DRV files that I need to go from VGA to EGA to Toshiba 3200.  In this
directory is also a makefile which simply contains the appropriate COPY commands
to move all-the-right-stuff into place.  With NDMAKE I can now make whatever
configuration I want:

	make ega
	make vga
	make t3200

Hope that helps!

					BAM!!
