It definitely will. I'm running it here on Win 98se and have run
it on Win 98 'classic'.

Yes..  And recent Google testing - it being an independant site
used by people from all places and OS's - found that about 26%
of users are still running Win 98 and about 48% are running Win XP

No other single OS (All Linux versions considered a single OS) was
over 10% if I recall.
