Retain Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0 compatibility in your existing C/C++ projects built under Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 (including SP1)
Reduce development costs and complexity (no need to keep an old Visual Studio .NET or a previous version side by side with the newer version just to build legacy projects)
The simple lightweight library plus the post-compile version editing tool are a complete solution to the problem
Includes implementation of Unicode functions referenced by Visual Studio and present (but not working) on Windows 95
Robust approach, also compatible with code optimization (some patches proposed elsewhere may not work)
