sure, but many older systems and laptops are not upgradable. I only went to py2.5 because the latest pyqt requires it. py2.5 is the last that will support win98 so the installer says. if you have enough memory and apps don't use xp only things it works fine most times. firefox3 uses cairo so that won't work for ex. xp is plenty unreliable too and being discontinued. hopefully I get to skip directly to 64bit. so has Leo been tested there yet with a 64bit OS and python? we all have problems. think of win98 like the canary in the coal mine. with the latest pyqt and qt of last week, some programs on exit hang python with a threading error on win98 so the writing is on the wall. plenty of well constructed apps, which python btw is not in a few key areas, will continue to function. the insanity of the DOS/WIN stderr and stdout support is one major headache and cause of problems. can we agree on that? and continues with backward compatibility with vista mainly droping support as a solution. while anyone knows that a unixy console is much more useful & reliable for some applications. looking forward to the merge of the qt branch. this surely will put Leo on the fast track. thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
