Hi,

I wonder if my FLTK 2 program will work correctly on windows 98 (especially,
considering windows 98 lacks of UNICODE support)....

(My strings are in UTF-8... well I could have them as windows-1250 if
needed, but is that enough to work)

Does anyone have win98 box around and could take a look?

Or perhaps anyone also uses FLTK?

Do you know which gui toolkis do work fully on windows 98?

I still run win98. I've written several programs for my 98.
  Mostly for POV support, they are at http://leroywhetstone.s5.com/

  I've also used these products to make the program and help files.
   Vide:GUI Framework for Windows and more  http://www.objectcentral.com/
   C++: Borlands Builder Downloads and Keys

   Wisdom-soft ScreenHunter http://www.wisdom-soft.com/
   EclipseHelp 95 http://www.greeneclipsesoftware.com/

What is FLTK? I might be willing to have a go!

FLTK is a portal GUI; www.fltk.org

I use FLTK 2.

I work to have it support localized characers on win98
http://limcore.com/research/devel/gui_toolkits/1/fltk2_utf8_windows/

If You could later run some tests (x.exe, and soon more tests) and see if
the strin "Łódź" displays it would be nice :)

FLTK is quite nice overall (FLTK 2 lacks some thing - I found many quirks,
but fixing them is fast)
