Merlin’s Delphi Forge

* Delphi 1 supports Windows 3.1x so programs compiled should run with no problems under operating systems that provide Windows 3.1 emulation, like OS/2 Warp, Windows 9x, NT, 2000, ME and XP and Linux with WinE.

* Delphi 2 and newer support Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP or Linux with WinE. Programs compiled with these compilers WILL NOT run under standard Windows 3.x or OS/2 Warp. Kylix is the Linux version of Delphi.

* Delphi up to version 3 has been reported to work with no problems with Linux using the WinE emulator. Programs compiled with Delphi 2+ may run under Windows 3.x with Win32s.

* Delphi 4 and newer support Windows 9x, NT, ME, 2000, XP and Vista. Minimum Operating System requirements generally depend on which components and libraries you are using in your applications.

* Kylix was the Linux version of Delphi that Borland created but no longer maintains or sells.

* Because there is no Delphi version for OS/2 you may want to try out SpeedSoft’s Sybil. It is almost 100% compatible with the first versions of Borland Delphi.
