IS there any way to give 98SE Unicode support? Maybe T2 would run then?

Not entirely true.

Windows 98x was the consumer level product.
Windows 2000 was business level product.

Windows XP in effect replaced 98x and 2000.

Windows 2003 replaced 2000 Server.

The activation crap of XP isn't that big of a deal. Seriously, works at the beginning, never thought of it since. Plus, if your internet is down, or something, it gives you 30 days I think. Wasn't that big a deal to me at least, but YMMV

Yes and no. As a user, no. As a developer, yes. It's M$, it's complicated. However, in T2's case the usual kludges won't work as T2 uses, thankfully, JUCE instead of M$ frameworks. As mentioned b4 in this very thread, JUCE is now 98 Uni compatible. Actually JUCE just switches to ANSI mode when it discovers unilingual 98. At least that's how the JUCE release notes describe it.
perception: the stuff reality is made of.

I don't really know what is involved but this gives me the impression that T2 source code could be recompiled with the latest JUCE and be 98 compatible. Sounds like something Jules could knock off in an afternoon. There are a number of us that would make the purchase as soon as we knew T2 works under 98.

For now, I'm just going to wait patiently until Win98 support appears, and use T1 in the meantime. It's working perfectly well, and I can't remember the last time my Win98 system crashed.
I switched to Winxp - never looked back - it really is more stable - even properly configured, I can't remember a time when I didn't have win98 crash on me...
having said that, I recognise the need for hardware support - that's fairly important-

I wish it would work with 98 just so I could use it with a sound card I have that only runs under 98...

What card is that?

Have you tried ASIO4ALL drivers on it?

the lexicon core 2 (or is it lexicon core 32) well one of those... You need the working WDM audio drivers before you can use ASIO4All and they the drivers with the lexicon don't work at all in xp or 2000.

Probably also trying to run it on a 286...JEEZE get to within a few years of CURRENT anyway!!?!?
