[Ham-Computers] need Windoze software upgrade info

[Phil Atchley]

Hello
New to the list.
Background.
I'm running a HP Vectra VL5 (Pentium 200 with 80MB ram) running Win98 first
edition with all upgrade downloads.

Yesterday I received two software upgades to my shortwave logging program.
(DXtreme RL2000 & RL2002).  I was able to load the first upgrade  (RL2000)
ok and make it run.  The 2nd upgrade won't even load as it requires at LEAST
Win98 2nd ed.  (And I've been notified it won't run under Win XP due to the
fact that MS has dropped "imaging" from that product).

Question:  Will Windoze ME still run all my DOS programs, or do I need to
seek a copy of Win98 2nd ed ?  If I get Windows ME will it run on the above
computer?  I am gradually phasing out all my DOS programs (only 3 left in
use).  I am really looking to upgrade to a faster machine, perhaps something
in the 500-600 MHz range. (As there is absolutely no budget here for an
upgrade, it'd have to be a future radio swap).

Thank you for any answers.
