Re: A89: Fw: 32 bit TI Graph Link Software
The difference is not so much in the code(NT is comprised of a
'surprising'(not really, hey, it's microsoft we're talking about
here...) amount of 16 bit code) but in the way you call the code.
Win31 supports 16-bit API calls. The win32 extensions add a few 32 api
calls, but mainly puts some alliases so that many 32-bit calls can be
rerouted to 16-bit code.
Of course, microsoft knew 16-bit wasn't enough, and went to 32 bit API
calls with winnt. It didn't support 16 bit calls. win95 and 98 support
both 16 and 32 bit calls.
So the 16 and 32 is not so much a matter of code, but the way
universally-available code is called.
I hope this helps.
