Hi.

I had just the opposite experience with Windows 98 SE.  Most of my DOS
software ran under it, with the exception of my checkbook program, Express
Check.  But, it wasn't Y2K compliant, anyway.  So, after Dec. 31, 1999, it
was a moot point.

I even had JFW and Vocal-Eyes working together seamlessly.  True, I had to
do a little reconfiguring, but it did work.  Now, Windows XP---that's
another matter!
