Why not upgrade your computer to WIN 2K? Conversion from NT to 2K has a great success rate -- much better than converting to XP. We converted countless computers where I work, and have yet to find a program that runs under NT that doesn't run under 2K. And, 2K is more stable than NT -- I haven't seen a single BSOD under 2K. A lot of niggly bugs were fixed with 2K, and 2K is still actively supported by Microsoft.
Downside to 2K - you need to find some new drivers, and you need at least 128M of memory.

I've seen a good number of BSODs in Win2K, just let a bunch of HS kids use the computers, and you'll see them come up with different ways to get the BSOD! There are some DOS based programs that worked in NT but don't work too well in Win2K - many schools don't want to pay for new software, so they keep on using DOS based programs, ie. attendance and typing programs.
If someone has a spare computer that you can borrow for a week, take that computer and install Win2K and your apps on it, then try out that computer for a week using all the apps. If everything is running smoothly, then you can update your computer and return the loaner. Just my 2 cents ...
