About Windows Versions

In this column we will discuss REALbasic's capability to create applications for the Win32 platform. Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, and XP all implement a growing subset of the Win32 API (Application Programming Interface). But these different implementations of Win32 are not equal, so you'll find functions in Windows 2000 which are in NT4 but not in the newer 98 version of Windows.

We'll mostly discuss functions which are available in Windows 95 and newer. Windows NT4 misses some of these functions but Windows 2000 (which is a renamed NT5) has all the functions from 95 and 98.

If readers request it, we can even discuss using a Win32 subsystem on Linux (named Wine) or Windows 3.11 (named Win32s). If you use one of these versions of Windows, send me an e-mail at cschmitz@rbdeveloper.com and let me know.
