Seeking Help to Preserve Rare WWII Database on Windows 98

• datasette

  187 8,934 9.3 Python

  An open source multi-tool for exploring and publishing data

Looks like it's an Access database. Perhaps convert it to SQLite and publish with something like https://datasette.io/?

I think the problem is, thread author doesn't know how to rip an ISO of the CD or move the database out; looks like they are getting help already though.

  DOSBox-X fork of the DOSBox project

Windows 98 apparently runs fine in dosbox (dosbox-x?). My dosbox install is locked on Win 3.11, since that's a better compatibility sweet spot for me.

Anyway, that should provide much higher-fidelity emulation than Wine, and is also easier to keep off the network, etc. Also, I guess it runs on Arm processors these days (since it's an emulator, and not a hypervisor):

Wine is generally more convenient if it works though.
