Windows System Requirements

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Anyone who knows:

How old a Windows OS will run RunRev stacks with Stack Runner? 95, 98,  
2000, XP (of course), but earlier?
I'm trying to assemble system Requirements for a completed project.

TIA,

Joe Wilkins

Hi Joe,

A standalone may be able to start up on Win 3.11 but will be rather  
useless. A lot of features won't work. You should probably assume that  
it won't work, unless you deliberately created your standalone for  
3.11, not using any incompatible feature.

I believe that Win 95 is no longer supported by RunRev Ltd. Some time  
ago, I used Rev 2.6.1 on Win 95, which caused me some problems  
regarding window resizing and crashes.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your response; so a 3.0 RunRev stack may run OK on Windows  
98 or later?

TIA,

Joe Wilkins

It depends on the version of StackRunner you're using - take a look at the
bottom of the web page to tell you what version of the Rev engine it was
built in, and then you can check RunRev's site for requirements.

For example, the latest StackRunner was built with the Rev 2.9.1 engine
which has the same system requirements as 3.0 - only back to Win95, and I
know there are a handful of "gotchas" with Win95 support that are in the bug
database. I'd suggest saying you support back to Win 98 or Win2K - that's
8-10 years ago, which should (hopefully) be sufficient for your purposes.

Thanks, Ken. That was pretty much what I had decided. Now I've got to  
resolve the Classic issue using RR 2.6, I guess.
