So test.winehq.org doesn't test Win9x any more, but why are we throwing away perfectly good Win9x tests that took years to get in?
Because the code is essentially dead.
Ok. I agree with that thought, but riched20.dll has different functionality based upon different versions of Windows. Thus riched20 functions will vary based upon the version of Windows we are trying to emulate.
As I stated, I run dOOm II, which basically is a Windows95 First Person Shooter. There are other old games like this that I feel that Wine should support because this functionality is going away with Microsoft Windows. Windows 3.1/3.11 is already gone, for the most part. Thus, like Damjan said, the tests are there and have been proven. I agree that no new Windows9x tests should be added, except where needed, to the existing codebase.
