So, not only did I have to add "DINPUT8.DLL" to be able to run AppleWin, I found I had to add "MFC42.DLL" to the system to be able to run CiderPress.  I was a little surprised to find that "MFC42.DLL" had to be put in the same directory as "CiderPress".  Putting it in "...\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32" didn't work.

As long as it is a 486 or better it will run Linux just fine.  :-)  That will substitute your outdated software issues with all brand-new issues.  It could also be liberating (e.g. XFCE is a decent desktop if you need to keep cpu/memory usage low).
