!!! there is no cubase v4.x on the pc platform!! only on mac!!!

!!! there is no pro tools version compatible with windows 95!!!

!! logic 4+ officially requires windows 98 !! do not try to install on win95 it doesnt work
!! this also means that its not possible to use logic with vst instruments on win95.. only win98+

in the same way that windows XP had different service packs;
this was the same with windows 95 :: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_95

does FL6 really run on Win95...? I thought the max was 5.0.2 and that 6.x requires Win98 due to the "new" engine...?
