Description:
The item: 2.1.2.2 Preparing the Windows MySQL Environment

mysqld-nt :.....You can run this version on Windows 9x/Me, but in this case no
                named pipes are created and you must have TCP/IP installed.

is wrong, all the servers compiled with __NT__ flag can't be started on
Windows 9x/Me due that these OSs claims by the kernel32.dll library
aborting the start process.

Windows 9x/Me only support client named pipes.

How to repeat:

Miguel, I don't understand this report.  Using MySQL 4.0.13, I can start either
mysqld-nt or mysqld-max-nt on Windows Me with no problems, and clients
can connect to it.  Is your comment about the __NT__flag specific only to
some versions of MySQL?

Regarding the comment:
    Windows 9x/Me only support client named pipes.
The client library supports only local named pipes, so isn't the
comment effectively equivalent to saying that Windows 9x/Me
don't support named pipes *at all*?

I'm stealing this bug report from Arjen and assigning it to myself.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the
documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website
shortly, and will be included in the next release of the relevant
product(s).

mysqld-nt and mysql-max-nt do work on Windows 98 and Me,
but apparently not on Windows 95. Updated documentation to
reflect that.
