Windows9x is no more supported?

Hi Valeria,

Windows9x is no more supported?

Nope. Then again, if you're doing any serious development, W98 is not really
the right platform.

Best regards,


Ben

Hi Leon,

why altera doesn't provid QuartusII Web Edition for Linux?

I wouldn't mind either, but they are licensing the GUI libraries from
another company and they have to pay a substantial sum of money per copy of
Quartus [whatever edition] running at a customer, so they won't be giving a
Linux GUI for free.

Once the documentation for it is out you may want to learn about Quartus
scripting, and then start asking for free Linux Web Edition command-line
tools. At least those do not share this third-party stuff.

Best regards,


Ben

I always find it amusing when people say that older software and
hardware are not for "serious" development anymore. Sure there are
better systems and software out now, but five year old software and
computer hardware do not lose any capabilities. Unlike mechanical
devices which wear out and degrade with time, computers run just as well
10 years later as they did the day they were new. I used my last PC
with Windows 95 for five years. The real reason I gave it up was
because vendors dropped support for 95.

Windows 98 is a stable platform and requires less hardware support to
make it function well. As long as you can get the software you want and
it is still supported on your platform, why upgrade? Win98 still works
just as well as it did when it came out in 1999, in fact, better!
