IDK man, I wonder how TF did the creators of Winamp do it? Were they so much smarter than the programers of today? And Winamp 2.95 still works on WIndows 11 today. IIRC Borland Delphi was the most popular tool back then for making Win32 apps since it was so easy to use. | ||

Were they so much smarter than the programers of today? The average programmer back then was probably far more knowledgeable of the low-level details. | ||

Software seems to have quality and capability as diametrically opposed attributes. | ||

https://github.com/alexfreud/winamp : does indeed look like classic Win32 in the files I randomly tried, although there's also a QT DLL and a whole load of other stuff on there. | ||

Yes, of course they were smarter. | ||
