    At thought occurred to me but is code this old even still relevant at all?

    I ask this as someone who writes simple scripts and would never call themselves a coder.

      For the most part probably not, but Microsoft cares a lot about backwards compatibility so I imagine some of this code still lives on in Windows

      Though you should take this with a grain of salt, since I’m saying this as someone who 1. never looked at Wine source code 2. used the Windows API only once, for a very small program 3. is still learning programming, so I wouldn’t call myself a coder (yet) either
