Dear Prof. Ripley:
As I reread your answer, I find I'm not completely certain about
one point: Is it correct to say that previously compiled code ran for you,
but when you needed to compile something, you needed to use a more modern
compiler?
Indeed, it was the compiler itself that would not run. That meant that
dyn.load() was not available to us, but dll.load() using VC6 worked (if
tediously).
Thanks again.

The only problem we found was that the Watcom compilers we used to compile
for S-PLUS 2000 did not run under XP. They were discontinued long ago, and
we probably did not have the final versions.
Otherwise we ran quite extensive tests using S-PLUS 2000 under Windows XP
until late 2003, and saw no difference from Windows 2000.

Our company is planning to upgrade operating systems to Windows XP, and
we'd like to know if this change might break some of our legacy
applications that we'd prefer not to have to migrate from S-Plus 2000 to
S-Plus 6.1 or 6.2. Insightful just told me that S-Plus 2000 "does run
under Windows XP but has not undergone extensive testing and is not
supported under Windows XP."
