Are there any issues with using Zillions on a modern OS? (Windows 7 or Later)

Nope, there are none [why they should be?]!

^_^ Given how many applications depended on something in Windows that they decided to take out (like OpenGL for a while there)?

But no, I'm running it fine on Windows 7. Never tried it on 8 or 10.

I believe that Zillions' v1.31 has a (1998 era) 16-bit installer, although it is a 32-bit program. It can be backed-up / copied over (re-installed to a modern OS) as a completely expanded program, with the many extra zrfs as well. You must still provide your registration code for it.

Yes, it runs fine on Windows 10 desktop, although it does show a few minor UI glitches. It is after all written using MFC, which is a 30-yo technology.

Do you think there would be interested in an updated version?
