I think the problem is how NT handles PIFs. See mmore below.

I'm in Schenectady, NY, which puts me quite out of the way for a
house call ;]

Feel free to forward it to the list. I just sent my subscribe
request.

I've been tinkering a little bit, and although I cannot get any of
the PIFs to run, I made some minor modifications to the setup.bat
file so that it will work on NT (again, won't really be of help until
the PIFs work) and I can use elmer.bat and e.bat just fine. I'll be
writing up a text file on what I did to the stock binary distribution
of E for Win32 and I'll send it in to you probably later today. Sound
good?
