If someone here has access to a Windows 9X system, and can either
compile C programs with MinGW on that system, or compile them on some
other system and then carry to and run the binaries on 9X -- please
contact me off-list. I need to test something on Windows 9X that
affects changes I developed for Emacs on Windows.
Thanks in advance.

FWIW: I don't have any Windows 9X anymore, but if I were you, I'll
install virtualbox [1] (it is free software), and create virtual
machines for whatever operating systems I wanted to test things on.

Do you need a Windows license to run it? From a license standpoint
it's strange if one can run a Windows instance without owning any
copy of Windows.

It depends on what you mean by "it". You don't need any windows
license for "using" VirtualBox (i.e. install it and create virtual
machines), but if you are going to install a Windows OS in some
machine (whether virtual or real), you need the corresponding license
(if you don't want to break the law...).

You can't. See above.
