Hello all: I need to use MS Access 97 and MS Word 97 in my job. I need too to visit every day a web that is designed to be viewed exclusively with MS Internet Explorer. These are the things that keep me attached to Windows 98. I tried to solve the paranoic constant rebooting of the computer with a VMWare virtual machine but it's too resource-wasting. Before beginning to spend time on learning how to run them with Wine I just wanto to make sure there is a possibility to make them work. I have a real Windows 98 "C:\" partition (the one from VMWare: I use a real disk with this tool). Is these W98 tools performance under Wine emulation complete and stable?. I need them to work properly, at least with no many more problems that they cause on a real Windows environment. I would like to use Getright 4.3 and maybe Fort? Free Agent but they are not "critical" for my daily use of the computer.

There's a demo and it's not too expensive. But keep coming back to wine (eg for games...) Bob -- robert w hall
