You will need either Windows 95 or Windows NT (at least v3.51) to use this, and all further releases of S-Tools (Win32s is not sufficient). <sigh> I suppose this is market pressure, but it means you are alienating a number of potential users (including myself). Some of us are working toward being Microsoft-free, you know.
It's not just marketing, it's a fact of life. 16 bit operating systems are not supported any more. Just as 8 bit OSes haven't been supported for quite a while either. There will come a day when 64 bits are considered the minimum for useful software (large database systems are already there). You just can't stick with 16 bits forever, MS-free or not. Face it. Matts
