- does anyone know what Microsoft's philosophy or advice is on
- developing new 16-bit applications?
-
- Basically my situation is this: we want to develop an application
- using VC++ 4.0 and want have the option of running it using VC++ 1.52.
- I know that Win32s is supposed to let me accomplish this (with some
- limitations, although this is not a very complex application and
- i don't think this will effect it).
-
- So,
- is the above the preferred method and is it encouraged by
- Microsoft to develop *all new* applications using 32-bit.
-
- And,
- I would appreciate any feedback (caveats, advice) on using
- VC++ 4.0 applications and running it under VC++ 1.52 using WIn32s.
-
- thanks
