Re: [Oorexx-devel] Discuss: operating systems we claim to support

[Rick M. <obj...@gm...>]

looks like end-of-life for W2K was over 3 years ago.

On the plus side, this might be the kick I need to finally upgrade my
desktop system from XP to Windows 7...using the version I purchased for
this purpose when it first came out.  I can't believe they still require a
format install to do this upgrade :-(
