[Newbies] Re: Win98SE + Squeak?

[Andreas Raab]

Leandro -

The Win95 family of products (Win95, Win98, WinME) are no longer 
supported by the latest Win32 Squeak VMs. This became necessary when we 
switched to full Unicode compatibility in the VM (support for Unicode is 
sparse to non-existent on these Windows variants). If you absolutely 
must use Win98, try the 3.7.x family of VMs - they were an 
extraordinarily stable branch that did support Win98 and friends.

However, unless you also use 3.7/3.8 based images there will be some 
compatibility issues (the precise extent of which I am not certain about 
since I've never tried it). Good luck.

Cheers,
   - Andreas
