Merlin’s Delphi Forge

t is possible to create Win32s applications in Delphi 2+ that will run under Windows 3.x. But to run them you will have to have Win32s installed on the destination computer (It’s available for free from Microsoft). The trick is not to use any Win32 API functions that don’t exist in the Win32s API. Also you shouldn’t use any components from the Win32 tab or any components that require Windows 95/98/NT/2000. These will be ActiveX controls, some 32 bit DLLs and components that access the Win32 API directly (like the Windows Open Folder dialog).
