I wouldn't worry to much about having support for Windows NT dropped
-- as far as I know, they have the same WIN32 EXE and code base for
both windows 95 and Windows NT.

So as long as Windows 95 is supported, I think you can count on
Windows NT.... Actually someone closer can comment, but I believe that
Windows NT is what most people at PPD develop on, anyway...
