You can put the flwriter directory into another directory, e.g. \myprogs\tests\flwriter. But "\usr\share\htmldoc\data" has to be in root. However, this directory is only used by htmldoc.exe which is called for postscript and PDF conversions. So FlWriter should start even if "\usr\share\htmldoc\data" is not in root.

It will also run in a Windows XP DOS box.
