I wondered if anyone out there had any personal experiences of difficulties
running their app in any of these OSs.
I'm currently working on a game (like many people I think). This does all the
usual stuff - hooks keyboard interrupt; uses VESA1.2/2.0; does sound via
Soundblaster; uses NEARPTRS (optional).

I think I can claim MS-DOS(obviously), Win3.1 and Win95 compatability, but 
given all the lowlevel stuff I'm not sure about OS/2Warp, WinNT or Linux.

Anyone care to comment?

Bye,
Jason.
