Having helped co-author a package that runs on both Windows and Mac for
another former member of this list (he's since passed away) that did use
cross platform RealDB, printing and several other items I can say that
it was pretty straight forward to get things up and running.
There are differences in several areas. Events on Windows seem to arrive
in slightly different orders than they do on the Mac, especially when
opening the application, windows, etc (Hence the often repeated request
to have a well defined and fixed event order on both platforms)
The database worked pretty flawlessly for me first time.
FolderItems had some small differences especially with regards to path
separators & whether the path had a trailing separator or not.
There is/was a list of Win32 differences posted by ... Robert Ameeti (?)
at one time but I don't know how up to date it might be

is it

different
flavors of virtual pc? Well I guess I will have to just track what I
find
and answers that I get...

AFAIK, there's no list out there that specifies the caveats of Win32 RB
apps. What are you trying to accomplish? What sort of models are you
thinking of implementing? If you give a little more information on the
topic, we might be able to give you a little more information on what
to
watch out for.

I was wondering if there is a faq or place with a list of things to
consider
when building RB apps for windows. I have just been faced with a
need to
build some existing apps for Windows and was interested in some
"heads up"
and "gotchas"
