For Win98 the Eraser instructions state you have to boot to DOS to run
eraserd.exe. I've written batch file to run eraserd.exe on a
multi-boot PC, to wipe swap files for both bootable partitions.

If I could do this when booting into Win98 that would be good to know.
Unless my thinking is wrong if you suspect or are paranoid about
someone having physical access to your PC and stealing your keys, your
best bet is to use eraserd.exe after shutting Win98 down to DOS, then
power down.
