- Paul,
-
- This is possible, I have done it with several of my own appilications.
- If your code does not use any OLE, it should work provided that you
- have installed the latest version of Win32s on your Win 3.11
- environment. If you do use OLE, you will need to execute two commands
- to register the MFC OLE fucntions (these are described in the readme
- file that comes with Visual C++ 4.0). Beyond that, there are several
- API functions that do not work under Win32s, so you need to make sure
- that you do not use those.
