I've been programming Windows professionally since 1994. MS has made many claims about backwards compatibility. Not all of them are true.
I did not include WIndows 64-bit because I did not know for sure Chessbd was compatible with it.
Why don't you go do something useful and check for us?
Are you, hereby, claiming that all Win32 applications will work on all Windows 64-bit OSes?
Yes. Very much, so. There is, absolutely, no, reason, to, think, otherwise.
Unless the Win32 application was built for a newer version of Windows.

This shows, that, you have, absolutely, no idea what you're talking about.

Not interested in Chessbd, hence, not installing junk on my box.

So, what have you been programming on Windows, professionally, since 1994?!
Oh, I see. Sorry. YOU HAVE BEEN PROGRAMMING WINDOWS, PROFESSIONALLY, SINCE 1994.
Yep, that makes sense now. There's really a whole lot you have to program Windows to make it run on your computer. 
Props for that, lol.
My, you're a pleasant person.
I look around the web and find caveats like:
In general most 32-bit applications will work just fine in a 64-biit operating system, but there are some exceptions.

I am running windows 7 64 bit. The program i want to install is using 32 bit. It will not install. It tells me the program is not compatible with the version of windows i am running. Is there any way around this to install the program?

I talk to one of my IT friends and he has plenty of stories of problems going Windows 32-bit to 64-bit.
As I said, I've been programming Windows a long time and seen this before. All I do is not guarantee that a 32-bit will work on 64-bit and you jump down my throat. I've seen your kind before too.
But I solved somebody's problem he brought to this forum and that's good enough for me.
I won't respond to you any further.
You're a total idiot. There's absolutely no difference between Windows 7 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit for a 32-bit application.
It is of no difference to a Win32 application whether it runs on Windows 7 32-bit or Windows 7 64-bit.
A driver, however, is not an application. Unless you're an idiot and think it is.
A chess application is not a driver. Nor does it need any low level hardware access, of any sort.
I think you have a huge misconception in what "programming" means.
Yes, because THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE to a Win32 application if it runs on Windows 7 32-bit or Windows 7 64-bit.

You're great. Cookie?

Someone on a forum said the Chessbd was not compatible with Win 64-bit. I didn't check. Considering that Chessbd is an old app originally written for Win 16 that seemed possible.
