Come to think of it, it might not work on MSVC 4.0 although it will work on
MSVC 4.2. I remember reading once that the difference between MSVC 4.0 and
4.2 is that 4.2 included the finalised versions of the Windows95 libraries,
and 4.0 just included draft versions of the Windows 95 libraries that was
changed after MSVC 4.0 was released and before Windows 95 was released. This
means that MSVC 4.0 could be used to build 32-bit Win32 applications for
Windows 3.1 and Windows NT 3.5 but only 4.2 could be used to also build
native Win95 apps (and parhaps also native NT4 apps). Has anyone tried using
Allegro with MSVC 4.0 and did they succeed?
