Yes, exactly - sorry I didn't clarify. There were folks out there who created stripped down versions of Systems32 classes, so you had a basic skeleton running.

Maybe I should write a progam like that, just for the fun of it. It still works nowadays. I might even get away with FreePascal. I'll give it a try. :)
- badsectoracula 7y agoYeah it should work. A few years ago i reimplemented in Free Pascal most of the OWL 1.0 API that shipped with Turbo Pascal for Windows and you can create some very small executables with it: https://i.imgur.com/bFGIVSU.png https://i.imgur.com/bFGIVSU.png (that 82KB executable uses almost all of the API's functionality, including type registration, dynamic instantiation and object streaming) Though i never did anything with it, i mainly wrote it for fun. The OWL 1.0 API isn't really that better than using raw Win32 :-P. But perhaps now that Free Pascal added support for Win16 in the trunk i could port it there.
