None of the various emulations I tried worked - and I tried lots. The "win98
can't access local files outside of its virtual disk" is really a showstopper -
I'm not about to install windows xp with all its home-calling things just to run
one or two programs.

So I've ditched all windows emulation for wine + linux-native programs.

Omnipage pro 8 works nicely under the latest version of wine.

Paradox 7 works nicely under wine (paradox 8 doesn't). (I installed it on my
ancient win98 laptop and copied the thing to an USB thingy; paste it into the
wine directory on the linux box and edit wine's registry files, adding all the
various paradox things by hand. It runs smoothly.)

I just listened to that a few days ago. I would have been asking for
Billing, personally. You figure there's an accountant or two in there,
so they should be able to do math. I love how the Verizon customer care
people kept telling him to get out his calculator, just goes to show you
how good our educational system is these days. Seriously, how hard is
it to double a number and move the decimal around?
