#87449 - Don't discount 98
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I hink Windows 98 is going to be a problem here. I did not have any Windows 95/98/Me/NT4 machines available for testing during development, and I would not be the slightest bit surprised if the software does not work properly on these platforms. Given their age and declining relevance, I did not think there would be much call for compatibility with them.


I would not discount entirely the 98/ME/NT4 machines. One of the problems Microsoft has been having lately is that not as many people are upgrading to the latest OS as they used to. Mostly, people just move to a new OS when it comes pre-installed on their machine.

And those of us that use Linux and emulate Windows applications have a much better time when it's 98-comaptible. That's what I do. Anything that *requires* XP is something I can't run.

I'd certainly encourage a Linux version, by the way. Command-line would be perfect for Linux. It would have been a big help recently when I was working with AT89S8252's and DS89C420's. I had a Linux program to do the ISP for the AT89S8252 but I had to go into Windows emulation and run Dallas' MKT program to update their chip via ISP. Not nearly as comfortable.

Craig Steiner
