[ale] bochs | vmware | win4lin

I've fought with Wine trying to get Dreamweaver 4
(which is really the only reason I ever boot Win98
anymore) working.  While it runs, it doesn't *work*.

So, my only option is to consider running a full
windows installation.  Now that vmware doesn't provide
the $49 VMexpress, it rules their products out (don't
feel like dropping $300 for the full).

If I have to, I'll shell out the $79.99 for Win4Lin. 
If you have experiences good|bad with Win4Lin please
let me know.

The optimal solution would be a bit cheaper.  I've
started looking at Bochs, but haven't really got it
working yet.  Has anyone used this?  What are your
experiences?

Lastly, is there any other alternatives I'm unaware
of?

Thanks,
John
