This is true unfortunately. ARDB's engine requires Unicode, and Windows 95/98 
don't provide proper Unicode support. :-/

Use make_linux.sh.

Please check
http://www.nongnu.org/anarchdb/tech.html
for help on building ARDB for Windows using Cygwin. It's been a while I didn't 
try, but the information provided here is up to date.

Let me know how it goes. 
Cheers,
