On Windows 98, having a username is optional. Without a username, C:\
is the best you can get. With a username, I'd expect (but can't check,
as I don't have Win98 installed) a user-specific directory.

BTW, this example shows that you'd be better using

    userdir = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser('~'), '.PyDS')

[ie, use os.path.join, rather than an explicit '/' character]
