Yes, and it works well, but without speech. Another alternative is
Partition Magic and PqBoot. With PM, you can create a number of "hidden"
drive C:, and install operating systems on each. When you boot, it boots as
normal, and in the last operating system you were in when you shut down the
system. When you want to boot into a different os, just run PqBoot and it
will present you with a menu of the different bootable partitions you have
installed. Select the number corresponding to the desired partition, and
whack Enter. The system reboots with that new partition as drive C:.
The benefit of this is that you don't have to select the current os from a
menu with every boot up, from a menu that doesn't have speech!
I have 95 and 98 like this, with both versions sharing drive D:, where I
have Office 97, JFW32, Outlook Express, and any other programs that I may
use regardless which version I'm currently booted in.
With this setup, I only need a single copy of those applications, and, in
the case of JFW, I only need a single security key for both versions of
Windows--not to mention only needing a single set of script files!
Thanks,
Dennis Brown
