Oops, no. The win98 DLLs should be copied over to the windows/system 
directory wherever your Wine C: drive is. /usr/lib/wine should only 
contain Wine DLLs. I'm assuming that you are using a "fake" windows C: 
Wine directory (you should be doing that).

While you are at it, you might want to copy fonts from win98 into the 
system/Fonts directory for Wine to use.

Yes, that is a fallback method. As mentioned above, the native DLLs 
would be located in windows/system, though.
