Sir, if you are not aware of this, you should know that you are
posting to an extremely active mailing list. There are many sirs and
madames here, and we try to help each other out. If you give us some
clue as to your difficulty, we may be able to help.
I've run various versions of MySQL on both win95 and win98. So far,
I've had no problems with MySQL, although my present WinTel box, the
MS Titanic, has gone down several times with full loss of passengers
and crew. (Thank god for backups.) However, the built-in iceberg
detector (*CRASH* "Found the iceberg, sir.") is part of Windows, not
MySQL. In other words, MySQL should run as well as the operating
system.
