   Just to respond to my own post, I tried just now to install the program on a
 friend's slower comp with Win98. That OS would reboot in DOS mode, and the
 program looked like installing, but between discs 1 and 2, it started giving
 trouble. It rebooted itself, then froze, and I had to switch the comp off at
the wall. So for now I wait to hear what others might have to say.
