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

[Bill K9YEQ]

Isn't the issue: do you use it for your Elecraft radios and if so would you
mind moving to your other OS's since you have them?

Dick,
I still use it. It works for some residual things I do. Everything else is
XP or Win7. I've also run DOS 6.0. If it works, I might use it. I see no
reason to blindly upgrade if it still works. I can see some of my friends
cringing at this.

I've been building the various Elecraft utilities (K3 Utility, KX3 Utility,
P3 Utility, KPA Utility, XG3 Utility, K144XV Utility and XG3 Utility) with a
2005-era compiler, because that's the most recent version of the Microsoft
Visual Studio C++ compiler that generates executables that will run on
Windows 98 SE. 


I'd like to move to a more modern compiler, but the resulting code they
generate will run only on Windows XP and later. That is, Windows XP, Windows
Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. 



Would you be inconvenienced by this change? I'm hoping there aren't many. 



Please let me know if you need the Windows versions of the Elecraft
Utilities to run on Windows OS prior to Windows XP, and what OS you have. 



Thanks & 73 de Dick, K6KR
