>There is a problem with fpw 2.6 under Windows ME, so I would watch for that in XP. Specifically, if your app requires a high number of FILES you may have problems.

Yes; use MSCONFIG to add the following line to the System.INI file:
In the [386Enh] area:
PerVMFiles=150This is case and space-sensitive, so enter it exactly as shown. There are limits to the effectiveness of this entry, fixed by an optional patch downloadable from Microsoft; see the MSKB (or if you have it, Microsoft's TechNet subscription set) for the exact details.
>>Will a FPW2.6a app that runs under Win98 still run OK under XP?
I haven't tried it; it's likely that it will require running in one of the Compatibility modes. You'll still need to apply the speed patch from MS to fix it for processors faster than ~300MHz.
