Hi

Look at http://www.php.net/windows
like that page says as of 4.3.0 windows 95 isn't supported, so I guess
win98 is still supported ;) and for 4.2.0 windows 95 should work (which
of course is the current version PEAR needs at least, or did you higher
that number up in 1.4 ?)

Here's my personal opinion, be aware ;) I think we should give up on
windows 95/98 and ME, because no healthy person uses that as a server
(well development env is maybe a different story)

But what we should do to keep flexibility and compatibility is to follow
what PHP does, and thus we should have support for win98, and even 95 if
we'll have the required PHP version still at 4.2.0

But then we come down to maintenance cost/time (time is money so it's
all the same) and if removing the win98 support in PEAR 1.4.0 makes
things more simpler then that's probably the best road to go.

As a side note, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't MS discount anymore
support/updates to win98 sometime this year, thus making that OS even
more unsecure, so maybe like I pointed out above, is too much work to
support such legacy OS.

Regards
Helgi
