Is there a way to know if my program will run normally on any version of windows? Im asking because im using dev-cpp at a windows ME machine and the programs i develop run correctly, but i cant be sure if theyl work at a NT or XP machine (different version of common controls, extensions, unicode, etc).

Do you guys use lots of machines to try it at all MS OSs or is there any smarter way to do that?

Thank you.

  Avoid writing UNICODE projects if you want the program to be runnable on W9x.
