Not going to play with the nested bracketed quote forum syntax here, i have things to do, so apply the following to the rest of your post.
Re: versions, why must you be dense? I must have 5 versions of Eu between 3.1 and 4.whatever.it.is.now.
You said major releases. Generally, only pre-alpha and alpha releases are allowed to break things (otherwise the API should be considered set in stone, though there are a few cases where we had to break things in beta those are exceptions that hopefully won't ever reoccur). Otherwise, only major releases can change API in a breaking way.
Thus the move to 4.0 made major API changes and some breakage, but gong forward, 4.0.1, .2, .3 and so on won't break any code, and neither should 4.1.0, 4.1.1, etc. But 5.0, the next major release, might.
I have never used win98.
You had some experience with attempting to install it, IIRC. I vaguely recall a converstation along those lines, at least.
