I thought it used to work. Also, I thought that someone had shown
that Win2k was still widely deployed. maybe that's win2k+3? (I can
never keep the windows platform family straight anymore...)

Thanks for details.
So I guess I'll ask the question again, is there a desire for Win2K
support? I'm not sure I really have an opinion one way or the other.
In relation to the previous discussion, I do think we should maintain
a single code base, so I guess this means either coding to the
lowest-common spec, some sort of test-and-branch or C macros (?).
I do think it would be helpful to spit out a "OS not supported" error
condition in these cases.

Btw, the w2k issue has been raised before. Start of the tread is
here:

then it turns into 'platform support':

and HARMONY-1145 was filed against the issue.
