This is a simpler question to ask, although the answer may not be that simple.

Question:

Should 3.0 support Win98?

Up to this point, 3.0 in Win98 works from what people tell me, but as we move forward with Unicode (and other features), Win98 may be less likely to work correctly.

Note that 3.0 does not require that its base OS be Unicode capable. It should run fine on non-Unicode systems.

Decision Reached

Decision is to go full speed ahead and not worry about 98.

If someone who really needs 98 wants to make the necessary changes to the host code to support 98, it should be possible to do that. (E.g. remove the Unicode API, etc.)
