That's basically what happened to me - my Win98 box got clobbered by a
SCO installation (which refused to live harmoniously with Windows and
demanded its partition instead - something I find rather humorous) and
that was basically that for my FrontPage testing.  I don't even have
the installation media for Win98, it was installed by someone else on
that box.

I also have an ISP who'd love to test it out, but when I ran it I saw
that it didn't have an option for StrongHold (the C2.org product based
on Apache/SSL) and I didn't want to skunk their config, so I backed
off.

I suppose we could just commit it untested since it doesn't look like
any of us are going to get near enough to a Windoze box to test it
in the near future..
