I have just had a look at the WindowUtils 2.53 module in OS5.18 with
StrongED and it really is a dummy module with no code and only
containing Title and Help strings.
It will not make any difference whether it is plugged in or unplugged
until some really old legacy application goes looking for it though it
would be unlikely that there are any such 32bit applications, I would
have thought.
