Hi Roger,

Yes, I've tried 0.10.x with no luck.
Its transition to (parts of) rails seems to have introduced
an incompatibility with Win9x.

Version 0.9.2 was sufficient for my needs and it's a lot slimmer
so I didn't try to find the problem.  It works.

It doesn't feel good - committing to Instiki - knowing
that we can't benefit from future enhancements except that,
eventually, we'll change OS and be back on track.

Should we pester the developer(s) with this ?
I chose not to but I don't think it would be too difficult to fix.
