Zitat von Trent Mick <trentm at ActiveState.com>:

Are there specific code areas in mind that would be ripped out for this or is this mainly to avoid having to test on and ensure new code is compatible with?

Primarily the non-W versions of the file system API. I think the W9x popen support could also go away.

I don't think any testing happens for W9x; I (atleast) can't test it myself (I installed a Windows 95 system to test the 2.4 installer, but had to give up the machine shortly after that).

Regards, Martin
