Alain:
Can't help with the ODOS stuff as my knowledge is pretty limited.

But as regards Win95....  You should add as much RAM as your pocketbook can 
stand, but not less than 24MB (bring it up to 40MB).  If you can't upgrade 
the processor to a Pentium, then get yourself a fast (SCSI) CD-ROM and hard 
drive.  You can get Internet Explorer and Email free if you can download 
them from the net.

I have a P133 with 512KB of cache/32MB RAM and it's just about fast enough 
(is that really possible .... ever?)  Hope this helps!

Bo
