The first big hurdle is whether you can get it installed or not. Back in the day, the installer was a 16-bit Windows program. If you're using a 64-bit version of Windows, I think it might be very difficult to even get the installer to launch (requiring third party emulation, which I'm not sure is conveniently obtainable). I would have, out of morbid curiosity, tried it just to see, but all of my Windows systems are 64-bit. Sincerely, John Fultz jfultz at wolfram.com User Interface Group Wolfram Research, Inc.
