Hmm, I couldn't find any statistic/report online that confirms this. All I found puts worldwide Windows 9x usage <= 0.01%. I don't think we should keep trying to remain compatible with such old versions. I'd actually be very surprised if indeed we still are, given nobody's been really testing it. I think that people that still need to _develop_ for Windows 9x can simply use an older GDB. Thanks, Pedro Alves
