 creating app for windows 3.1

I hope this question doesn't sound stupid but I'm a newbie at using VB.  
I have vb5 and i am running it at home on win95.  I need to write an app
that i can bring over to school to run on their windows 3.1 machines.  
Does anyone know how to ensure that this will work?  Is there some
setting in vb saying i want to write a 16 bit app?  also, i using that
setup wizard the best way to port the app to the other computer?  or
should i just copy the .exe and any .dlls rquired over?  

Please email any responses - thanx!

As I understand iit, VB5 is for 32 bit development only. If you want to
develop for Win 3.1 you will have to stick with VB4.

You cannot use VB 5.0 for 16 bit applications since it is a 32 bit system.
