Using NT-based SDK under Windows '95



Q. Why doesn't the NT-based SDK work on Windows '95?

A. You might be able to compiler under Win '95, I haven't tried in
   a while. I think there is some problem between the command.com
   shell that Win '95 uses and the cmd.exe shell that NT uses. I
   believe part of the makefile depends on cmd.exe (but it has
   been a while since I have done this).

   The NT demo definitely won't work under '95. However, I have
   seen a normal DOS demo work in a window under NT. It mainly
   depends on the video card. Only a few allow this.

   I've never tried running Swat under '95. It is unlikely that
   Swat would be able to communicate with GEOS running '95. It
   definitely couldn't use the default communication mode (pipes),
   but it may be able to out one serial port and in the other.
