PB and windows 95?

alanuk · Post by **alanuk** » Sat Jan 03, 2004 2:30 pm

I need to run 2 computers back to back for testing a program in PB. It's an old 300meg with a maestro soundcard. The only drivers I can find are for windows 95. I have windows98 loaded at the moment and am wondering if PB will run under windows 95 OS?

Any comments welcomed.

that's work, with sometimes of the odd errors which do not arrive under win2k... but my config for work under win95, is Cyrix 586-100 and 8mb of ram....

most 95 drivers work under 98 as well

and you might even install the dos drivers and simply tell windows it's an old sb compatible

Since 95 isn't in the "supported" OS list of PB I wouldn't count on it working very well..

I stand corrected!

Yes. I use it under 95 to code and test my apps written in PB. Naturally,
some API commands don't work under Win 95, but if you're not using API
commands, then no problem.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I must make sure I don't use API in the code.

Win95 still has some thousand API commands you can use.

Nearly all API functions you can use with PB are core API
commands that also work on Win9x.

Just see the help (MSDN/PSDK) for the API functions you use.
If you use the Win32.hlp with the PB-Editor, you are on the
safe side because this help file is very old (1996) and all
functions in it are available on Win95.

From the 8.000+ API functions you can directly access in
PureBasic are *at least* 99% available on Win95 too.
