 == Disable Win32 Native File I/O in pjlib ==
 
-Still in pjlib. Since version 0.5.10, pjlib uses Win32 native {{{CreateFile()/ReadFile()/WriteFile()}}} API for dealing with file I/O, since the ANSI {{{fopen()}}} has a limitation that it can only open a maximum of {{{FOPEN_MAX}}} simultaneous file, and the limit on Windows is about 64. But unfortunately, it looks like {{{CreateFile()}}} doesn't work as expected on Win98, although it doesn't look like it uses any NT specific features.

 == Disable IoCompletionPort in pjlib ==

+On '''Debug''' build, pjlib Visual Studio project will use socket '''select()''' as the back-end implementation for PJLIB's '''ioqueue''', which is fine.
 
 However, on '''Release''' build, the Visual Studio workspace will use WinNT '''IOCompletionPort''' (IOCP) as the '''ioqueue''' backend, and IOCP is not available on Win95/98/ME.
 
-As a workaround for this, open the '''pjlib''' project settings, and exclude {{{ioqueue_winnt.c}}} from the Release build, and include {{{ioqueue_select.c}}} in the Release build.
+So we need to exclude IOCP from the build, and use {{{select()}}}. To achieve this:
+ 1. open the '''pjlib''' project settings, 
+ 1. exclude {{{ioqueue_winnt.c}}} from the Release build, and 
+ 1. include (do not exclude) {{{ioqueue_select.c}}} in the Release build.

+These settings have been tested okay, but should you have any problems specific to Win95/98/ME, please ~~complain Sebastian~~ send email to pjsip mailing list for help.
