Some days ago I tested ScummVM under Win ME (very similiar to 98) and it ran just fine. </blockquote><div><br></div><div>Good, it still does.</div><div><br></div><div>Honestly though, who uses Windows 9x nowadays? It's a dead OS, Windows 98 was released more than 13 years ago and ME...</div>
<div>well... ME was a nightmare (released more than 11 years ago). Perhaps it's time to change? :)</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Anyway, I don't know what to do about the encoding problem for these old systems other than what I suggested which would make it easiest to convert it to ANSI for all Windows systems.<br></blockquote><div><br></div>
<div>Why? These people can just use an editor that supports Unicode files.</div><div>e.g. Notepad++ is free, its older versions still run under 98 and it does support Unicode files.</div></div><div><br></div>Regards<div>Filippos</div>
