<<From the developer's point of view, unless there's some kind of magic DOS->WinNT compatibility library for the user interface in the yet-unreleased IPAS dev kit, it's going to mean a fair amount of new development to make the WinNT version, and since not everyone will upgrade, they'll still have to sell both DOS and WinNT versions.>> Why not use Phar Lap TNT? From a magazine publicity: "Phar Lap's new TNT DOS-Extender lets you break the 640K barrier, build multimegabyte DOS applications and take advantage of powerful NT features. Implement threads, DLLs and multitasking with your familiar Microsoft Development tools…You can use TNT DOS-Extender to build versatile 32 bit programs that can access up to two megabytes of memory and run under DOS, Windows 3.1, or Windows NT…TNT DOS-Extender also supports powerful NT features such as dynamic link libraries and threads, enabling developers to build modular, responsive multi-megabyte applications."
