- Well, I believe 1.52 -> 2.2 can do that, though you probably still have
- to buy that stupid $500 Phar Lap's dos extender, or find a replacement one.
- I think with a little tweaking and using a different library, you can go
- all the way back to VC 1.0 and make 32 Bit Dos Programs, but the library's
- are real mode, so you may have to write a lot of your own routines. Visual
- C++ 4.0 comes with 1.52, so basically anything after 1.52 and you are
- golden as long as you can find a reasonable Dos Extender.
