Thanks for such complete information!

Good question. At this point, I don't know, but now I'm 
looking into it. I can tell you that WinAVR is built on 
Windows 2000 using Cygwin (and MinGW).

There are two issues: Insight, and Cygwin. Insight uses the 
Cygwin DLLs that are shipped with WinAVR. They also use the 
Tcl/Tk DLLs that are also shipped.

Can you successfully run other WinAVR programs that also 
use the Cygwin DLLs on Win98, such as avrdude, uisp, 
srecord?

I wasn't aware of such an issue until now. If there is an 
issue, then yes a note will be made in the README.
