Talk of dropping win98 and NT

Guys 'n' gals, There's talk on PHP internals of dropping support in PHP for win98 and NT. The justification is that there are useful APIs that could become part of PHP if we do so. I used to support win98 in PHP for a while - Frank, I don't know how long it is since you did that too, I gave up last summer when I got XP and lost my 98 box. There are no bug reports open against PHP 'proper' from those platforms, and on that basis I added to the general consensus on the internals list that we should drop support for these platforms. It occurred to me, _after_ I'd expressed agreement there, that there may be subscribers to this list that actually do have users on win98 or NT; they're likely to be more common in offices than in web development houses - or are they? If anyone here has a large user base running PHP-GTK on old Windows systems, it might be a good time to write to internals@ and make that point. - Steph
