For use with really old apps, G�bor De�k Jahn upgraded a utility created by Chas Hedrick that lets you create small caps sets from OT fonts (you can strip out any glyphs you wanted and put them into multiple separate fonts). I have used it many times myself in the past for non-unicode savvy apps:

But check your font licences allow you to do this. I agree with Dov that there's no need to license T1 fonts these days.

And, if you really wanted to, there has been some discussion on how to use MM fonts in Vista. Check Thomas Phinney's blog.
