In Win9x, you need to enclose arguments with spaces in double quotes. Thus an autoexec.bat with PATH "C:\Program Files\Root;%PATH%" set ROOTSYS="C:\Program Files\Root" should work. I haven't tried this for ROOT, but I have done similar things when forced to work on 9x systems and want to install things into subdirectories of "Program Files". I would also note that Microsoft officially recommends AGAINST installing many of its own packages into paths with spaces in them. This is why SQL Server is installed in C:\Mssql7 rather than in "C:\Program Files\MS SQL Server 7".
