Firstly let me say again, I don't know anything about Roots3, other than
that you've said that it's a DOS application. You've also said that you
have it installed on a machine running Windows 98SE.

If all of that's correct, then the installation should be exactly the same
for Windows XP as it was for Windows 98SE. posted the other
day to confirm that this is infact the case.

Executing the program should also be exactly as it is on Windows 98SE.

I'd say why not give it a go. Do whatever you did to install it on your
other PC, and let us know if you run into a problem.

Good luck.
