When I downloaded the PO7W95.EXE and unpacked it, I got a Windows95 and a Windows directory. Instructions somewhere (I forget exactly where) told me that to run 16bit apps, I had to go to the Windows dir and run setup.exe here.

This lets you install 16bit support for 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2. After doing this, I could connect to my PO7/Win95 from Power Objects (that isn't supported under Win95, but runs OK).

All of this doesn't use any SQL*Net. Hope this helps...
