A few problems I have seen ...
1.  Controls close to the edge of the window, OK in Win 3.1, can cause
scroll bars to appear in Win95.  So allow more space at the edges.
2.  That persistent "active applications" tool bar across the bottom of a
Win95 screen means that the available area is not 640*480, but 640*(480
minus something).  This again can cause the appearance of unwanted scroll
bars if you use a 640*480 main form.
3.  Launching child programs DOS-style via Win3.1 "WinExecAndWait" type code
"usually works" in Win95, but sometimes you get weird things happening (like
File Not Found for a perfectly good file).  Two nested WinExecAndWait's is a
definite problem in Win95, it will probably kill you.
