 How to make 16bit exe for Win3x under VB4/32bit in WinNT4.0

Hi all:

I've searched the KB and NG for an answer to this, but can't find a
direct answer. So...

How can I create an .exe in VB 4.0 32-bit version running on Windows NT
4.0 that will run under Windows 3.1 or 3.11?  Is there a way to "Make
16-bit .EXE" from VB4/32 bit? Or do I have to install VB4/16 bit and cut
and paste all of the code to there and then make a 16 bit exe? Thanks
for any help!

Assuming that you have 16-bit control equivalents to the 32-bit versions,
you can open the 32-bit project from within the 16-bit Visual Basic
environment. Either way you will need to install the 16-bit version of
Visual Basic if you need to create a 16-bit executable. In addtion, you
will need to convert any 32-bit API function calls that you may be using to
their 16-bit versions, or use conditional compilation statements.

You have to install the 16-bit version of vb to make 16 bit exe files.

You can use the same project and code files for both the 16 and 32 bit
version of vb, but you have to have a 16 bit version of your ocx files !!!

If you are using API call you need to have and if statement that tells the
program what API library version you will use when compiling, see the
manual for further description and syntax.
