Neil, I have installed Win '95 on my system…. the first hang-up was that Win '95 would not let me install (i.e. upgrade) with Window's NT on the system…. unless ALL program groups were deleted from my previous installed programs… which meant (according to Microsoft) that I would have to reinstall all of my programs. And, they also made a note that I could not simply copy my program.ini files from my previous installation of windows. I decided to delete the NT system 32 directory, which allowed me to install Win '95, Visual C++, and CDK. BUT…… when I tried to compile a sample application in CDK I received an error that it could not find wing32.lib I searched my entire drive, apparently the Win 95 install deleted my WinG libraries. I tried to reinstall them and set a path, but this does not seem like a logical solution (which did not work.) I have a second computer that I am going to use NT on, and keep Win 95 on the other… just so I can keep up to speed on the new Win 95 interface (which I do like working with so far.)

Neil, Things are working for me here in the future…. I have CDK compiling in WIN '95. * I went into the CDK makefile and set a path directlly to "WinG32.lib" * Also, CDK demo's look for "WinG.dll" in the \windows\system32 directory… you will have to create this directory and place the dll in for it to work. Anyway, things are looking good for working in Win '95, only time well how stable it is….
