That's exactly what I'm doing, not just with TB, but most of the
applications and my data (except I use Win98 instead of Win ME, and
I've more partitions for other jobs.)

Basically, yes, that's all it takes.

Nothing serious, if you don't care about those tiny interface
discrepancies between the two setup (Window size and position and
such things).
One small caution, though. Remember to synchronize the version of
the two setup, especially the two program files (TheBat.exe). I use
the Win98 environment so rarely that I often forgot to update the
applications on it. As a consequence, my Bat in Win98 sometimes gets
so outdated that it couldn't recognize the filter file (Account.srx)
generated by the current version, and kill it without warning me.
It's only a little annoying since I have backup of all my data file.
Otherwise I would have to re-create all my filters.
