I recently downloaded the latest MYSQL version 2.23.39a (from page
http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-3.23.39a.zip), and installed it as
directed by the instructions: 
*       install directory: c:/mysql, 
*       datadir: c:/mysql/data, 
*       and created the config file: c:/my.cnf (see below).

When I typed to start mysql: mysqld --standalone, I got error (see below),
and the DOS session hangs.

My workstation is a Thinkpad 760ED, running Win2000 Professional, SP2.

Please help.
