There's a miniHowto on Win95 and LInux - the main problem is Win95
eating up your lilo boot sector.  Make sure you make a boot disk for
linux before installing win95 - log in on this and rerun liloconfig to
set up your options (autoload linux option to run Win95 ;-)

I'm interested in what you are saying about Executor and Mac Word5.1
You said you dont use X so is Executor a Mac emulator that runs in
shell mode (Maybe I misread you there)  Does it work without fuss?  I
dont use word in windows usually but its getting harder sharing files
without it these days.
