A new version of eXcelon Stylus that fixes several minor bugs and the reported installation problem is now available.
Registered eXcelon Stylus customers should contact support@odi.com for information on obtaining the new version.
A stand-alone 30-day trial of Stylus is now available as well. It will be distributed from www.odi.com/excelon as well as several shareware distribution sites. Tell your friends!

I just downloaded the trial version of
Stylus 2.0, after having tried the old
version a couple of months ago (great
product, but I needed more XSLT
conformance).
With my great disappointment the
installation ended with a "Windows NT or
Windows 2000 needed", while the old
version worked great on my Win98 system
at the office.
Is this true ? Windows98 is not
supported by Stylus 2.0 ? I hope
not since I don't plan to switch
platform any time soon :(

There are several reasons we chose to drop support for Win95/98.
1) A majority of Stylus users work in corporate environments and have migrated to NT/2000.
2) Stylus 2.0 is entirely Unicode-based, which massively simplified the task of adding international character-set support. Windows 95/98 support for Unicode is weak, and support for MBCS is buggy. Adding 95/98 compatibility would have been significant development at the expense of other features.
3) Each additional platform requires additional support and testing resources.
The decision to switch was not taken lightly, I promise.

While the eXcelon server has always required NT (or as of 2.1, Solaris), the other eXcelon client tools will remain 95/98 compatible for the time being.
