Issue:
======
Embedded systems need to run engine on Windows 98/ME or Windows NT 4.0 hosts.
CRT dependency is also not a good thing for such systems.
Rationale:
==========
Although these systems are out of support by Microsoft we found that as of 2009
- NT4 and its specialized derivatives remain the platform of choice for
closed-circuit environments
- Win98 is still being used as a platform for secure fund transfer systems
(that is, sealed appliances using dial-up to transfer financial data)
We assume the situation will continue for the foreseeable future.

Solution:
=========
MSVC7 build of Firebird 2.5 produces statically linked binaries that can work
on Windows 98SE, Windows ME and Windows NT 4.0 SP3+ systems as well as the
newer platforms all the way to Windows 7.
Known issues:
=============
You need Comctl32.dll version 5.8 or later installed for Guardian and server
running as application to display property pages. This library is distributed
with Internet Explorer 5.
