I'm not waiting or repacking on win9x issues popping up during release

Same goes for Dos and OS/2 btw.
Somehow I have the feeling that we (FPC) have more testers for DOS and
OS/2 than for 9x ;)
They are mostly the same: Pierre and Tomas.
They all share the same trouble of very little activity between releases.
The main difference though is that they concern different targets, and do
not share a Tier 1 target like win9x
Nevertheless we have (official) testers for those two targets. They take
care for them and even add new features (remember Tomas adding support
for TProcess to OS/2 some months ago?). That's currently more love than
Win9x gets...
Also FreeDOS (on which FPC can run) is an actively developed/distributed
platform like is ECOMStation. This is again unlike Win9x.
So in my opinion DOS and OS/2 should not be put into the same bin as Win9x.

Sven
