IMO, that's not possible at this time: lots of machines in the 3rd world use Windows 9x, so limiting their support by Emacs would be not nice on our part, especially if the reasons are aesthetic. Note that Emacs already fails to support some of the features that cannot be supported on Windows 9x for technical reasons, like hard links, Unicode-based clipboard operations, etc. > Is this information about the underlying filesystem available in > some way to Emacs Lisp programs? We could make it available quite easily, but what do you suggest the application code does with this information?
