1) I know nothing about Arachne. Most DOS programs run fine in DOS Mode, which
after all, gets all but a tiny stub of Win9x out of the way, and is essentially
'real' DOS.

2) I would expect that you would get better performance on the P120 from
Win95-- version B (or later) if you have a hard drive larger than 512 MB;
version A is fine on 512 MB or smaller hard drives. Win98 will run adequately
on that system, but requires more drive space and takes up more memory,
resulting in slower performance on older systems... in general, unless you have
need to use USB peripherals (which is unlikely on a system of the P120
generation unless added in after the fact), I would recommend Win95 over Win98.

3) WinXP's minimum recommended RAM is 128 MB; I tend to recommend doubling that
for good performance. I'm happier running Win2000 on systems with 128 MB.... I
haven't run either on a P-200, but I was pretty happy with Win2000 on a P300
system.
