The loading and everything else was 16 bit. The way you tell that is by how much memory they can access and win95 and win98 were restricted. WinXP, Win2000 and Winnt were of the same architectures. What difference does it make. Task under win95 and win98 won't run on Winxp and Win2000 or WinNt unless it in compatibility mode. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
