I don't have a Windows 98 machine at home or at work.

It might work.  No guarantees.

No, because the contents depend on what's been saved.  That folder is a
subdirectory of your profile directory; it's *not* a directory that's
part of the Ethereal installation.  Ethereal is supposed to create it if
it needs to save something in it and it doesn't already exist - and it
did so on my NT 4.0 partition at home.  Something about W2K is getting
in the way on my work machine, although the code looks as if it should
work correctly.

I.e., it's not "C:\APPDATA\Ethereal", or "C:\Program
Files\Ethereal\APPDATA\Ethereal", it's "C:\Documents and Settings\{your
login name}\Application Data\Ethereal", or something like that.
