First:   I am considering doing a dual boot system with
Linux and Win98 or setting up a file server with Linux as
the OS.  If I do a dual boot system, how hard will it be to
return the Linux partition to Win98 -- to reclaim it
overall?  Will the entire hard drive have to be reformatted?

Second:  Stupid question, but gotta ask it.  Will
WordPerfect files created with WordPerfect for Linux be
readable by the WordPerfect  written for Win98 and NT?  I
recall that early versions of some software (back in the
early Mac and PC days) would not be readable on non-like
systems even though a given file would still have the same
file extension.

Thanks in advance.
