I ran TR in a DOS window within Win98SE across several versions years back. 
It was very functional, although CW keying would slow or lag a bit when 
Windows was busy with some other task.  For CW contests, I would boot to DOS 
mode, for SSB contests I'd run TR in a window for vanilla logging.

I now have essentially the same configuration now on a different PC.  TR 
doesn't like running in a DOS box anymore, so I have to boot to DOS to use 
it.  What I didn't check is the config/autoexec files which (as I recall) 
can affect the environment Win98SE presents to DOS windows.  This might 
require some tweaking, perhaps to get the COM port defaults set up to TR can 
see them.

I spent a good weekend attempting to get TR to work with Win2000 a few years 
back but the virtualization of device drivers made it a no-go (same with 
XP).
