"For now, compatibility with Windows XP, NT (with NTLFN), and 2k is not an issue"

I fail to see any logic or reason in this statment. If it is supported, why should it not be supported on all platforms where the program may run? OS/2 is not mentioned. RR 22:59, 5 April 2006 (PDT)

Compatibility With Windows NT-based Operating Systems

The LFN interrupts that are supported by Windows NT-based Operating Systems such as Windows 2000 and XP are buggy, and hence supporting them should be done after stability on non-buggy systems is affirmed. Workarounds for bugs in Windows Operating Systems can still find themselves into the library, but should not be considered first priority, rather second.
