I asked something along this line in an earlier post - more or less: Am
I able to install VPC 6 onto my OSX powerbook, then use the Windows 98
disk image that I am currently using under VPC 4 (after booting into OS
9)?

The answer I got was a "Maybe. There is no upgrade path from 4 to 6.
It may be possible to get it working under 6, but it will probably
require some work."

The current reply sounds like it is possible to migrate from VPC 4 to 6
using the same disk image. Can you tell me what these steps would be?

I cannot afford the price of VPC6 with a new copy of Windows (whatever)
nor can I afford to lose the apps and files I now have on my Windows
98SE disk image.
