  BTW- I do have it up and running.
  However, I was correct in thinking that in order to have the PPak work
with the port, it has to be *installed*- there's no GRP file, rather, in
installation it patches the original version of Duke.
   I was also remembering correctly that the PPak won't install under
Windows XP on my machine- not from the CD, not even with the patch from 3DR
that's supposed to correct the memory issue.

 The workaround was to run the original PPak CD's install program with
VDMSound.
