I think, I have bought it in 1995, but there has been two updates since
then (the version I have used in testing is the original). So it is
very likely written for Win 3.11. The latest upgrade is from 2000, but
it installs on top of previous version.

However I have a working version of wkp on a WIN 98SE system. Is it
possibly just to copy the whole thing (one directory+shortcuts) to
.wine-directory and try to get that latest version to work without
installation? (The latest version is anyway the one I need). After I
got home I'll try that with a winedebug command.

How mature is this qemu? As you have seen I don't have great skills
with computers.
