I have used Win4Lin for about 4 years and it is an excellent
program. I use Linux 90+% of the time, and mainly just need
Pagemaker (that only runs on Windoze as far as I know).
Of course Win98 crashes every other day or so, but since it
is just running as a task on Linux (thanks to Win4Lin), I never
have to reboot. Linux keeps on trucking and I just restart Win98.
