About the only advantage I can think of that Win 95 offers programmers
and end users alike, besides the pretty program lucnching interface, is it's
use of the .dll shared libraries. This gives programmers the luxury of not
having to write extra code into their routines and saves on disk space
since other programs can call the same .dll file. It's a modular programming
system that offers a lot of attraction and ease of use. There may be other
bennefits I may not be aware of, an not being a programmer, but you
might just want to cut it a little slack until you can offer a better
alternative.
