Glen,
If in fact you are correct that "there are a lot
of users still on Windows 98", then it behooves
Millinnia to continue to keep Legacy compatible.
It should not be difficult as Millinnia had earlier
versions that were compatible. This update from
version 5 to 6 is not a major change, just a few
added features and minor cosmetics.
Legacy does have major bugs. We see too
many reports of freezing. While some reports
may be do to dirty PCs, IMHO, most are do to
incompatibility between the PC and Legacy,
due to Legacy's coding.
I am confident that Millennia will clean up
some of the bugs. I would hope they work
more on cleaning, than on new features for
a while. It hurts to see such an excellent
program get so many justified complaints.

Just a question:
How fair is it to expect Legacy to support an OS that is 7 years old and
there are 3 OS' since?
I do understand there are a lot of users still on Windows 98, but
realistically, how long can we expect them to support it?
Just curious.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] V6 and Windows 98
Folks,
I spoke too soon. After some offline correspondence with Patricia, I tried
some features of V6 with Firefox, Thunderbird, and MS Word also running (as
well as all the other background stuff that that wants to run from startup
and I haven't already disabled). Legacy froze while using the Research
Guidance feature. I got no error messages, but the only way to free my
system was Ctrl+Alt+Del and "End task" on the Legacy process. For me, this
isn't necessarily a show stopper because of the way I typically use Legacy.
However, I can definitely understand why some people might feel that it is.
For over 30 years in the computer biz, my philosophy has always been "if it
aint broke...". I've been putting off an upgrade to XP because nothing in my
Win98 system was "broke", but this might provide a little more impetus.
Legacy, itself, may not be "broke", but I saw no caveat about needing XP
before I purchased V6 deluxe. I would certainly hope that the Legacy
developers give this problem some serious consideration.

Ed Lawler spoke thusly:
I'm running Win98SE on a PIII, 512MB and I've seen none of the
reported operating system related problems with V6. Can't say as I've
stressed it, though.
