JDI says:

"Following you, then, you must be saying Windows to mean the
latest version: Windows NW 3.51 and this instantly has all 3.1
users disappear in a blackhole that not even 95 will rescue."

Actually since Windows is not a standard, it is just a trademark of MS,
no such statements can be made. Standards make a big difference.

For instance, it is quite important for people in this newsgroups to
distinguish between Ada (the standardized language), and Ada (the
language implemented by their local compiler). The confusion between
the two is the source of many problems (in Ada and all other standardized
languages).
