If I distribute a Delphi application compiled with DBISAM, am I going to
have to worry about what Windows OS the customer is using? Win'95, '98
etc? I didn't find a compatibility list on your website. Same for
ElevateDb.

I'd worry more about the visual controls than DBISAM. You may get some minor problems with collation order (see the thread on Turkish sorting) but that should be about all. I think Tim could well still be using D5 (or maybe D7) so lacking Windows API calls is unlikely to be a problem.

Roy,
    Have you or anyone else run a DBISAM 4.22 .exe from BDS 2006 on
Win'95 or Win'98? I suppose I could find an empty box around here and
install Win'95 just to be sure, but I thought I'd ask here first. If it
runs, then I'll look into the collation and visual problems you
mentioned. Thanks.

Hi Dave

I just installed one of my DBISAM 4.(latest) applications
on a W98 machine and also installed DBSys.exe

Both run without any problem

DBISAM is fine on any W9x/ME box.

EDB is slightly different in the case of the Unicode support.  Frankly, I
wouldn't run any Unicode EDB application on any box older than Windows 2000
unless you really want to hassle with making sure that the Unicode layer
support for 9x/ME is installed.

Dave;
 I wrote a Delphi 7 application running DBISAM 4.20 on a W2000 box. I
then installed it on a W98 box and it ran without a hitch.
