 * Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0
 * Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0, version 1.0

SUMMARY
The Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0 (VBCE) requires Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 or Windows 2000.

The beta version of VBCE5, which had limited functionality, ran on Windows 95; the released version requires Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000.

MORE INFORMATION
The main reason the Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0 requires Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 is that the Windows CE operating system is Unicode-based, and only Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 provide complete emulation capabilities.

The Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0, however, is operable under Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me.
