What operating systems does delphi support

The only version of Delphi that has been released is for Windows 3.1. There is no reason why it should not run correctly under systems that provide Windows 3.1 emulation, like OS/2 Warp, Windows NT, etc. Borland has announced plans for a 32-bit version to coincide with Windows 95. It is rumored that this might be a free upgrade to users of Delphi 1.0, but I wouldn't count on it. It is also known that Delphi 1.0 does not run correctly on the prerelease version of Windows 95. Applications built in Delphi are Windows 3.1, 16-bit applications. However, Borland has stated that existing Delphi applications will compile unmodified in 32-bit Delphi. Francis Whiteley <whiteley@croughton.win-uk.net> points out that the readme.txt file for Delphi says: "Delphi has been tested under Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows NT 3.5, OS/2 Warp, and the latest pre- release version of Windows 95. Note that we do not recommend large-scale deployment of database applications running under Windows 95 until Microsoft certifies a release for commercial use."
