Fair enough. I've just tried win32api.GetUserName on a Win98 machine
 and it works ok, so not sure what I was thinking about before. But...
 I've also tried WNetGetUser (with the correct capitalisation) and
 that's ok too. That's using the just-downloaded win32all 151 against 
 the just-downloaded Python 2.1.3.

Looks like I'm trailing a red-herring, but I was sure that I had known
 about some difference (I'm supporting a mixed Win9x / Win2k site here).
 I'd better look around and get acquainted with the facts.
