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.
