So despite the indication that 0.99.0 is the last known version to work with
Windows ME, it appears that that can't be true based on this information. 
Should the user guide be updated to indicate that Ethereal 0.10.14 is likely the
last version to work with Windows ME?  Or did someone really manage to get
0.99.0 to work with that OS?
