- Information regarding TDWIN.DLL and Windows 3.1 Compatibility
- =============================================================
-
- Borland will support Windows 3.1 for its full line of Windows
- language products: Borland C++ & Application Frameworks, Borland C++,
- Turbo C++ for Windows, and Turbo Pascal for Windows. Windows 3.1
- compatibility kits will be available for these products in Q292.
- The compatibility kits will include all the files you need
- to create and target Windows 3.0 and Windows 3.1 applications,
- including the lib's, dll's, .h and .tpu files for multimedia, pen,
- true type and OLE support. The kits will also include online help
- for the 3.1 API and example files.
-
- We are working very aggressively on creating these compatibility
- kits. Because they require final shipment of the Windows SDK from
- Microsoft, we are unable to supply these files at this time. As you
- are well aware, software often changes at the last moment, and thus
- we need to make sure that our compatibility kits work with the retail
- and SDK versions that Microsoft will ship.
-
- You may run into some difficulties with Turbo Debugger for Windows
- when used in conjunction with the Windows 3.1. These issues will be
- addressed in the compatibility kit. Most of the problems you experience
- are solved by simply using a Borland provided DLL called TDWIN.DLL in place
- of WINDEBUG.DLL as a temporary solution. That file is included in this
- archive. It has been released by Borland AS IS and should be considered a
- temporary solution to the issue of using Turbo Debugger for Windows under
- Windows 3.1. Borland's "true" solution to Windows 3.1 compatibility issues
- is the compatibility kit described above. Until that solution becomes
- available, you may use TDWIN.DLL without guarantee.
-
- Using TDWIN.DLL will resolve the majority of problems experienced when
- running TDW 3.0 or TDW 2.5 under Windows 3.1. It will NOT work with
- the Windows 3.1 debugging kernel. You may experience other problems while
- using this temporary solution.
-
- To use TDWIN.DLL:
- - make a backup copy of your WINDEBUG.DLL onto a floppy
- - make sure that there are no copies of WINDEBUG.DLL on your path,
- in the WINDOWS directory, or in the WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory.
- - rename TDWIN.DLL to WINDEBUG.DLL and place it
- into the BIN directory of your Borland product.
- - you now should be able to run Turbo Debugger for Windows under
- Windows 3.1 (not 100% compatible)
-
- We thank you for your commitment to Borland products.
- We will update you as soon as more information on the Windows 3.1
- compatibility kits is available.
