[fluid-dev] FluidSynth shell work on Windows XP , does'n work on Windows 98

Hi jim
First, thanks you for your answer.

Yes i have tried entering a command and the shell
doesn't echo the depressed key.

This is the behavior 

Under windows 98: 
In fact with the help of the debuger one can see that
the programm is lopping somewhere inside
the shell.

Under windows XP:
The same executable works well as the user can enter
commands while a midifile is playing.

Conclusion:
I seems the shell programm has restrictions on the
versions of the OS.

I am going to post this last test to the developper
mail-list to see if it is possible
to have a version working with win95 win98 and the
next new OS.

Again thanks

Best regards
