- 10.0 does not officially support Win95 in any way, shape or form (that
- I'm aware of). Remember 10.0 was released before Win95 ever came out.

- 10.5 officially supports: "Win95 ready". (This is likely what you
- want.) Reading from back of 10.5 box, it appears as though you can start
- programming with Win95 as a host/target system, but it does not fully
- support Win95 (paraphrased).(There is a patch for 10.5 - 10.5A - avail on
- BBS/ftp, etc., but this patch does not really 'add' to the Win95 support.)
-
- 10.6 - This is a free upgrade from 10.5, designed (to my knowledge) to
- further-support Win95...but who knows when Watcom will release 10.6 or
- what exactly be included in this version....
-
- Hope this helps...
