In any case, here it goes. I am a newbie in the understanding of how an operating system is built. I don't seem to understand the difference between the XX-bit operating systems that exist. For instance, what is the difference between a 32-bit OS and its predecessor's? All help appreciated. jaryx@delphi.com
