    Yes. It should work fine. There are a few things that don't work with
    win4lin, mostly hardware related: it won't play midi or handle the
    accelerated graphics used for games or work with Windows USB drivers. I
    doubt if any of these would affect you. I don't know if these are still
    problematic with win4lin pro.

    Win4Lin pro needs a lot of resources, typically 512Mb ram and lots of
    disk space. You can probably run your program on the old win4lin with
    windows 98, without most of the security worries.
