Just to set the record straight, and to help those who might be looking for this information: > * Accessing reliable information about which APIs work on Windows 9X is > not easy at all. One can find that information here: http://winapi.freetechsecrets.com/win32/ http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk/main/sal/systools/win32/uwinapi/unicows.dxp (The 2nd one lists functions absent from Windows 9X, but added by UNICOWS.DLL.) > ** How many bug reports came from Windows 9X users on the last, say, 8 > years? Two, AFAIR. They were both about things that didn't work on 9X, which we fixed since then.
