Feel a bit dumb for asking this.

Could someone confirm whether VC2003 was a supported platform for deploying
executables to Win95 or Win98. The last MSDN was Oct 2003. What's the last
PSDK for VC2003 and Win95?

I'm hovering over whether I should stick with VC6 for Win9x and NT4 legacy
development, or crank it up to VC2003. The codebase is portable, the main
issue is performance and support.

I've put out binaries compiled w/ VS2005 Standard and run them on
Win98 boxes fine. It's more what you MS APIs & .lib/.DLLs you link
against, than anything else.

I was thinking that but didn't want to get too smart. Older platforms have
prerequisites. Not a problem. I just wanted to double check the compiler and
SDK versions in case something bit somewhere down the line.
