It depends how you define "supports". I am using TS4 under Win98 with
2 monitors. If you maximize the app (TS), it only shows up in the
primary monitor. If you manually restore and resize, you can drag the
edge of it across to the other monitor and put graphs on both
monitors. Presumably you could do this with 3, or 4 monitors also -
depending on how many slots you have on your computer to house monitor
cards.
By the way, I was able to do this under TS 3.5 also.
True multi monitor support (IMHO) is the ability to size the screen to
fit your monitors and have it remember this resizing for your next
reboot. Also it is to be able to have one chart fit all the way across
your desktop (filling up as many monitors as TS fills up). Currently
in 4.0 and 3.5 you cannot do this. I understand that TS2000 does allow
you to do this.

Of course none of this is relevant re:TS4, since it is my
understanding that
TS4 does not support Win98 multi-monitors.
