Fine by me - one of the reasons that I was able to convince my wife last
fall that it was time to replace my 8-year-old 266MHz win98 machine with a
brand-new dual-core 2.6GHz WinXP machine was this very thread, and telling
her that win98 is no longer supported by Microsoft.  Which means I no
longer test any of my packages on win98, and am no longer sure that all my
coreutils tweaks work in spite of win98's limitations.
