Sure. Actually, that's rarely the case. I think Win3.1 has a different exe format than the rest. Even the Win32 OS'es have quite a few library differences between them. If there are examples of this, they must be pretty simple programs. Certianly none of the 50 or so PC games I own have this capability. I do have a few that would work (on some platforms better than others) if you threw out Win3.1 though. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
