> Thank you! I know that fltk-1.1.9 is the best one for me now. Though I see that one of your screenshots shows CJK text support, which you will not get with fltk-1.1.9. You will need to use 1.3 (or perhaps 2.x) to support CJK texts properly.

Are you actually seeing any demand for win9x support though? I don't think I've seen a win9x box for several years, and I know that we are not providing any support for win9x variants of our apps that are released to customers or etc... > And I am not sure I have understood your advice here > completely. Can you describe your good results in detail? What I meant was that, for a charity, we had received a load of old win9x machines in various states of repair, and with no valid licences and so forth. These were cleaned up and had one of the lightweight Linux distro's installed, along with various applications. These machines were then redistributed, and they all seemed to work pretty well - they ran at least as fast as they had with win9x on, and stuff worked OK, and far fewer "virus" type issues than the win9x boxes (some of these were badly infected when we received them...) > Do > you mean that I can migrate some old win9x codes to linux (or > just run the win9x binaries with wine) and rewrite these > codes with fltk-1.3 to support more platforms? All of the above, to be honest: for the charity stuff, we did run a few old legacy programs under wine and that seemed to be fine. Not blindingly quick, but they were slow machines anyway... For other work, where we had the fltk sources, we just recompiled and that was fine. The fltk code we had was written cross-platform anyway, so supporting win9x was just a nuisance and it was good to drop it.
