Hi PZA,

My son's company had the same problem. Custom programs that would not run on later versions of Windows. I used to downgrade their comps so they could continue to use the progs. Anything that runs on 95 should have no problems running on 98 if you have the original install and know how to move the data files. Win 98 is just an update of 95. If it happens to be a DOS program you may be able to move it to the 98 machine. If the prog is Windoze you may not have any luck at all moving it as Win programs usually have junk spread all over the machine.

Good Luck, Jim
