    If you followed the best practices of the time, along the lines of the Charles Petzold "Programming Windows" book, there's a decent chance the program will still work. Problems is there was virtually no QC at the time, a lot of programs written by babies in Visual Basic, a lot of hacks, and a lot of weird drivers, and very few modern standards when it comes to internet protocols, file formats, and user permissions.
