[Boost-users] Re: Will libraries built on WinNT run on Win98? (MinGW)

I know for certain that an application that uses Boost.Regex can be built 
with Visual C++ 7.1 on XP and run on Win98.  It uses Unicode, so requires 
the Unicows DLL 
(http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/handson/dev/mslu_announce.mspx) on 
Win98.  However, I have no experience of MinGW.
