Adding UBCD411 menu(s) and Win9x Rescue Image(s)

1. Wonder what the best way would be to go about adding another c:\ubcd-extract\menus\.*.cfg file besides the ones already present plus the overflow c:\ubcd-extract\custom\custom.cfg
A nice feature to have.
Already tried creating a c:\ubcd-extract\menus\bootdsks3.cfg and putting inside this a Linux boot LiveCD that was working fine in c:\ubcd-extract\bootdsk2.cfg\
When the new UBCD.ISO (version 4.1.1) was created and launched, selecting just the bootdsk3.cfg itself caused the screen to go all blank even before any attempt to select proper boot disk
2. Another nice feature to have is the ability boot a Windows 9x system from a rescue image.
Already tried using Windows 98 rescue images from http://www.allbootdisks.com/download/98.html to rescue-boot a Win98 system.
No luck.
Maybe creating a Win98.igz from an ISO at http://www.allbootdisks.com/download/iso.html and placing it in c:\ubcd-extract\images to boot via c:\ubcd-extract\menus\bootdsk1.cfg would work
Would sort of have to use c:\ubcd-extract\menus/bootdsk1.cfg until the requested feature of adding another boot menu.cfg becomes available.
Have already downloaded the updated syslinux-3.71 updates and repeatedly copied over the required files to c:\ubcd-extract\isolinux\
