The Win32 API uses system DLLS which are backward compatible between Windows versions. The majority of API calls work for every version of WIndows from W95 on including all of the most commonly used APIs. If you want to use an API feature that is limited to certain OS versions, you just need to check the OSVersion first. -- Stuart
