Developing Win3,11 under Win95 with Delphi 1.0

Hello all!

I am having to upgrade to Windows 95 from WFWG 3.11.  I still need to
be able to develop applications using Delphi for Windows 3.11.  Can
I do this with Delphi 1.0 under Windows 95?

Thanks!

But with a bunch of caveats!

You usually will not have problems running Delphi 1 on Win95 (though
some postings here have indicated problems).

BUT beware of some things that may work as expected when you develop
and test in Win95 but which simply fail to work when running on Win3.x
(Win95 is much more forgiving, for instance c:\test\ is legal while in
Win3.x it MUST be c:\test)

Bottom line: Use Win95, but do not rely on your testing with Win95.

 I had a small problem using CHDIR(I think that was it) to specify a
directory.  Win95 had no problem with it, but in Win3.1 caused the program to
crash.

Other than that specific problem, I developed a medium sized app with approx
5000 lines of code under Win95 to be used with Win3.1 workstations, and it
went off without a hitch.

I STRONGLY urge you to test any app written with Delphi 1 under Win95 on
several Win3.1 machines extensively, however.

David
