Hi Anton,
I am pleased to hear that you are creating ROOT binaries from scratch
on a Win98 platform.
As you know after ROOT 2.22/10 I have several problems when running the
ROOT binaries from the web on my win98 machine (you can ask Valery Fine
for details if you want). So win98 users are basically bound to stay with
the old 2.22/10 version.
I would like to suggest that once you have succeeded to create a completely
working set of ROOT binaries on a win98 system, that this version will also
be made available to the outside world via the ROOT web pages.
On the pages one could then indicate this version as win98 specific.
Could the ROOT team please consider this, since in our group many people
use laptops and for these things we have the feeling that the flexible win98
OS is much more convenient than winNT or win2000.
Cheers,
Nick.
