thanks for the info...
I've fooled around with VMware, Bochs and Wine... but now don't
bother... i just muti-boot or run several machines at a time (with a
KVM switch)

The advantage of W4L9x is that it's integrated into the Linux
environment. For example you can cut from Xemacs on Linux and paste into
Word in Windows. Also for those few websites that need IE, if you do a
download with IE it's onto your Linux disk.



Hmmm...
now you've gotten me interested...

using the KVM it's a bit difficult to "cut" from one machine then "paste"
to the other <G>

Win4Lin9x is cheap, $60, so as long as you have an old Win98 disk laying
about it's certainly worth a try. Win4LinPro is only $90 however you'll
need a real copy of 2K or XP, in recent years the big PC companies have
been shipping restore disks instead of install disks unlike in the Win98
days when they all came with a true install CD.
