A question of coding ethics
-
Just had a conversation with PJ where he said he was supporting Win98 for an app. Now I’d reckon that Win98 is now considered an obsolete OS. Unless there are strict client-requirements, I’d avoid Win98 support for my programs. I would like to know whether the general audience here agrees with me or whether you have a different set of coding ethics with regard to old OS versions. Nish

There are a lot of people using W98 and who are not upgrading to W2k, or ME even (never mind XP.) You want to hear something scary? 90% of all POS (Point Of Sale, like a till at your local shop) systems in South Africa are still runing DOS 6.1 with only 640k RAM to play with. :-D Cool huh. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa
