Yes, it works under Win98.
Some time ago Win98 compatibility became much less important even for automation projects. But why not support Win98, after all?
Mirek, does Win98 compatibility make many problems for you?

Moderate ones. E.g. people want Cout() to work correctly with i18n, which requires using WinNT console functions (AFAIK).
Well, I can still do runtime dynamic loading, but it is tedious....
Then there also are some multithreading features and similar issues. But I would say i18n is the most important issue why I would like to see Win98 finally gone.

Well theoretically this issue could be solved by banning all "normal" WinAPI calls (without A or W ending), an only use A version on Win98 and W on NT or later. But most cases already do this.
But in practice there should be some small issues still after this.
