It had been signalled that versions of Firebird beyond V. 2.1.x would not support Microsoft Windows 98, ME, or NT4. However, Red Soft, a commercial company which wants to support Win98/ME and an idiomatic version of NT4 used by and maintained for government departments in Russia, requested permission for the inclusion of some re-implemented compiler conditions, isolated in separate units, that would enable the building of “ports” of Firebird 2.5 to those old or idiomatic Windows platforms.
The Windows binaries distributed by the Firebird Project do not contain this support.
No such ports are subjected to any QA testing by the project.
Any QA, future maintenance and development or bug-fixing affecting such ports are the responsibility of those who use them.
