It's possible, but extremely inconvenient. I dual boot NT and 95 (actually
quadruple boot with Linux and DOS) But...I usually am in NT. So when I am
inclined to download files I want to put on the calc...which usually
coincides with a new version of Sqrxz...I have to drop out of NT, and
reboot into 95 or DOS for all of 30 seconds, then go back into NT...that's 
convenience, Microsoft Style
