[Elecraft] How many Windows users are using Windows 98 SE?

[Matt Zilmer]

There will be a lot of chaff coming after your post re compilers,
Dick.  For my own part, I *try* to stay with supported operating
systems.  Can't always do it that way, but today I'm running Win7-64.
W7-64 will handle Win32 of all stripes.  Until recently I was running
XP, but it was about to go off support at M$, so time to upgrade.

73,
