-=> Quoting Dan Egli to Bruce Clark <=- DE>> 90% of them will be fine as long as they used nothing but the DE>> standard Win16 API. It's the funky ones that used extensions like DE>> WinG that will give issues now. BC> What is WinG? BC> And is there an easy way to tell if an old windows program uses it? DE> WinG was an attempt at 3D graphics (or REAL high res graphics, for DE> those days) under 3.1. If you are running under 3.x you will recognise DE> WinG by the funky startup test it does on first load and on the first DE> load after changing any display settings. Whole bunch of lines that DE> sometimes form sinuous lines, sometimes form circles, etc.. and blocks DE> change here and there. Considering that my normal graphics are greyscale LCD 640x480 VGA, with 256 color an option if I plug in the VGA PC card for an external monitor, I probably don't have to worry about that. I'm just hoping that the: "Hyper-Threading" Mobile Intel Pentium 4 Processor won't have any problems running 16bit Win3.1 programs like one tech support person said. ___ Blue Wave/386 v2.30 --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5a* Origin: BBS Networks {at} www.bbsnets.com 808-839-6036 (1:10/345) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 @PATH: 10/345 106/1 2000 633/267 |
