error starting on Win98

Rich Nagel reported the following:

Folks,

I seem tp be having a problem runing the new Quadra version 1.2.0rc5
under Windows 98 SE. Although I'm no programmer, I might actually be
of assistance with this one <G>.

Here's the error message that I get when running the new version of
Quadra:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Error Starting Program

The QUADRA.EXE file is linked to missing export
SHELL32.DLL:SHGetFolderPathA.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I think this has something to do with the following new feature:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Store high score recordings and configuration file in a user-specific
application data directory, so that non-administrator users can play
on Windows NT/2000/XP.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The reason that I think this is the problem (and this might help you
fix it), is that with one of the newer releases of another tet-game
called "LockJaw" I had the same problem.

This directly from LockJaw's release notes:

_____________________________________________________________________
0.43a (2008-02-11)
 * PC: Uses shfolder.dll so that installability works even on Windows
98 (0.43 regression, reported by Rich Nagel).
_____________________________________________________________________
0.43 (2008-02-10)
 * PC: If installed.txt is in the same folder as the program, ignores
the current directory and stores all writable files to the user's
application data folder (bug 0091).
