I'll await comments for a little while before including this patch. > Note: These patches won't work on Win9x, because I used Unicode version of > Win32 APIs directly.

I don't think we need to support Windows 95 and 98 anymore. I don't have a computer anymore that runs it (and thus can't play some old games...). Windows XP is also deprecated, but it's still used in many places. Thus Windows XP is the oldest we need to support. -- Shit makes the flowers grow and that's beautiful /// Bram Moolenaar -- [email protected] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ an exciting new programming language -- http://www.Zimbu.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
