I would suggest that either:
a)	We either have two separate versions, ie OD16 and OD32, which
are developed independently, or,
b)	Whatever changes are made are made simultaneously to both
versions, preferably in the OD16 first to make sure it's compatible.

Unfortunately, it would be difficult.  In my experience, people who use
Win95 either don't know enough to use a better system or are hard-core MS
fanatics who'd love to lick Bill's (Gates) *ss, or both :(
