It could be the case that the DOS software was compiled for

instructions. (Assuming a coprocessor exists ib it, of course.)
Ah, but the only processor that needed FWAIT was the 8087 (as I
recall, the 80286/7 pair already did away with it), and if that
machine has an 8086 inside it AND can run Windows 98, I would be
supremely amazed. :-D
What kind of a program is it? No clue? DOS4/GW? Whatever the error
is, it sounds cryptic enough to be compiler-specific, in which case
you might hope to find out what it comes from.
