      Hi! Matt,              On Sun, 28 Apr 13, you wrote to me:               MM> Replying to a msg dated 29 Apr 13 12:33, from you to Bob Klahn.               MM> Yes, I have a win98 SE OSR 2 copy but the problem is its not fun to        MM> use without tweeks on a virtual machine.              It came about that I'm lucky to have two licenced copies of Win98SE: my own,       from an old PC; and, one from a 'donated' PC (dumped on me by a workmate),       complete with a big fat manual of biblical proportions. I like my Win98. :)              I have tried once or twice to get a Windows for Workgroups 3.11 vBox to run.        Frankly, the vBox support forum said it wouldn't work. I have a licenced copy       on 1.44Mb disks but I had a lot of trouble with running the Setup.Exe file,       from disk image files off of the 'net; no 1.44Mb floppy drive available, you       see. The setup failed at the same point, twice I'm sure... now.              That was just step #1. Who knows what other horrors awaited me. I wanted it       in a vBox to provide inter-communication for some MS-DOS 6.2x/7.xx BATch files       I was working on and the rest of the LAN. It's disadvantages outweigh any       advantage for the networking aspects, so, I haven't bothered to pursue it.              Oh, well. Them's the breaks. You win some...              Cheers,       Paul.              ...
