Applause!

That's my feeling exactly! 
We have lots of customers who will use years to get all their client computers up on 32-bit platform. I 
cannot understand why Borland haven't made the same approach with Delphi 2.0 as with C++ 5.0, which can 
create DOS, 16-bit Windows and 32-bit Windows applications. It can even simulate most of the new 95 common 
controls in 16-bit applications. That is splendid for developers.

I was somewhat annoyed by Visual Basic 4, where quite a few of the new "goodies" were only available in 
32-bit, but at least there was a NEW product for 16-bit development.

With Delphi 2.0, all you get for creating 16-bit apps is a bundled Delphi 1.0.

I hope you fellow developers can raise your voice. I've already mailed my concerns to several people in 
Borland. 

I'm sure Tim Shea and I are not the only ones unable to develop for 32-bit only, so please, let's hear from 
the rest of you !!!!
