- Although Microsoft claims that win32 (which is used by MFC) is a single API,
- there is actually (at least) 3 APIs. The full win32 will run on NT, a subset
- of this will run on Windows 95, and a subset of this (called win32s) will run
- on Windows 3.11 (but only if win32s is installed on the machine).
