There are two approaches you can take.<br />
<br />
1) Wrap your 32bit dll routines up into an automation wrapper. &nbsp;When the 16bit app uses it, the cross platform is handled by the marshalling mechanism. &nbsp;This may not be your best solution though, and is somewhat cumbersome.<br />
<br />
2) Use 'Generic' thunking. &nbsp; It enables 16-bit apps to call 32-bit dlls under Win95 and NT. &nbsp;This is your most flexible approach (although you haven't said very much.)<br />

If it works by calling windows api function, I don't think<br />
there should be any problem converting it to c.<br />

I've got some Delphi 3 functions, that I would like to call from a 16-bit Borland C program, running on Windows 95 or Windows NT.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have examples on know how to do that ?<br />
The C program has to be 16-bit, so just compling the c-program to 16-bit is not an option.

Delphi is the most powerful Object Pascal IDE and component library for cross-platform Native App Development with flexible Cloud services and broad IoT connectivity. It provides powerful VCL controls for Windows 10 and enables FMX development for Windows, Mac and Mobile. Delphi is your choice for ultrafast Enterprise Strong Development™. Look for increased memory for large projects, extended multi-monitor support, improved Object Inspector and much more. Delphi is 5x faster for development and deployment across multiple desktop, mobile, cloud and database platforms including 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10.
