Don't bother. It's like treacle, and it won't run any recent version
of Windows. SoftWindows 4.0 is faster than 5.0, but I think it
emulates a 486, so it won't run pentium-specific code.

FWIW, If you want to spend money on the project, and have a Linux box
lying around.
VMware will remote display via a X connection (or at least it used to -
been a while since I did it. Confirm it with the demo.)
It gives you some keyboard grab warnings, and won't do full screen, but
it did work.
(And from what I remember of SW 4 off a SS5, its lots better.)
Bewarned, VMWare really likes their products, and charges accordingly.

No full screen, because the X client isn't usually allowed to grab
the root window on the local display, and the only keyboard messages
you get anymore tell you how to release input.

True fact.

Oh, I dunno. The copy of VMware I'm running here only cost about
$6500 US, not counting the MS licenses for the emulated Windows boxes.
That's not bad, right?
