You Go! :-) Actually, Microsoft has never claimed (and it has nearly always
been enforced) that there was ANY compatibility going backwards on their
releases. The only time they make an _explicit_ backward compatibility
statement is when you were using VC++4.0 on Win95 to make Win3.1 binaries.
If you build it on an earilier release, and follow all the rules, it will
run on later releases. It never works the other way around. That is why I
built some code on Win95 original, for distribution, it works on all Win95
and Win98 systems.
