Pelles C and 16 bit programs?
« on: May 01, 2005, 03:09:21 AM »
Hi.  I use Pelles C.  It is my favorite IDE.  But I was wondering if I can develop 16 bit programs that run on Windows 3.1?  If so, how?  Thanks alot.

PellesC is a 32 bit compiler and linker so, no, it's not going to work.

Curiously, why would you like to code for Win 3.1 when the new 64-bit platforms are annonced?

I have an old computer with Win. 3.1, and was wanting to make some programs for it, but oh well.

Depends how desperate you need it, and for what. As I remember, 16-bit Windows was no great joy to code for. There was a short-lived creature called Win32s, a subset of Win32, that was supposed to run (some) 32-bit programs on 16-bit Windows. If it's still available, maybe the way to go...?
