- Issue:
- ======
- Embedded systems need to run engine on Windows 98/ME or Windows NT 4.0 hosts.
- CRT dependency is also not a good thing for such systems.
- Rationale:
- ==========
- Although these systems are out of support by Microsoft we found that as of 2009
- - NT4 and its specialized derivatives remain the platform of choice for
- closed-circuit environments
- - Win98 is still being used as a platform for secure fund transfer systems
- (that is, sealed appliances using dial-up to transfer financial data)
- We assume the situation will continue for the foreseeable future.

- Solution:
- =========
- MSVC7 build of Firebird 2.5 produces statically linked binaries that can work
- on Windows 98SE, Windows ME and Windows NT 4.0 SP3+ systems as well as the
- newer platforms all the way to Windows 7.
- Known issues:
- =============
- You need Comctl32.dll version 5.8 or later installed for Guardian and server
- running as application to display property pages. This library is distributed
- with Internet Explorer 5.
