I _do_ have a copy of the old 16bit visual C++ and would be prepared to port
ttf2pcx for that environment if there is a need (not that I ever use it
myself, but sometime I might need a favour so it cant hurt to offer).
However, if you have Win3.1 and a Win95 executable why cant you just install
win32s to allow the 32 bit code to run (this _doesnt_ work for WinSock
client code but works for most else...)
