Don't know.  You might use `strings' to find out.

Btw, could you please post the URL (or just mail it to me)?  I would like 
to include it in the FAQ.

Windows 95 includes DOS.  You can edit the (hidden) file MSDOS.SYS, which 
is a text file in Windows 9X, to force it to present a menu at startup 
where one menu item allows you to boot DOS 7 without Windows.  And then 
you can have your dual boot.
