You are correct, however that wasn't my point.

My point was the reverse - you described the problems of not implementing
part of the API supported by NT. I was simply saying that you can't have NT
compatibility, without first having 9x compatibility to some extent.

Well, you can write a Unicode Win32 application which will
have *severe* problem running on Windows 95 :) IIRC Win95
does not implement most of *W() functions.

So, an ANSI Win32 application will probably run on both
Win9x and WinNT/ReactOS, but a Unicode one may require
WinNT/ReactOS.
