Thanks for the info. I thought it would be necessary to change the
interface. I'm not happy at that, but if that's nearly the only thing to be
changed, it's good news.
I've got a couple of questions:
1) If I want to make 16 bit Windows 3.1 type executables -and- Windows 95
ones, do I need either FiveWin or Clip4Win for the first ones and XBase++
for the second? Or will just XBase++ do?
2) Have you tried XBase++? I'd like to hear about your experience with it,
if you have.
Thanks!!!
