Actually, Borland is still keen on its "16-bit users", as can be determined 
by the fact that every copy of Delphi 2.0 has a copy of Delphi 1.0 on the 
CD-ROM.  It's just that Borland needed a 32-bit presence for Delphi, which 
meant that Delphi 2 HAD to support Win95, not Win 3.1.  I'm more interested 
in seeing Delphi 3.0 and WinNT 4.0 Workstation.  My questions there concern 
whether Delphi 3.0 is Win95 or WinNT4 compatible and how much more to upgrade 
to hardware compatibility for WinNT4.  (I know how you feel about the upgrade 
costs for Win95, as I was forced by job conditions to do an upgrade on my 
Pentium.  My wallet is STILL bleeding from that!)
