If I wrote a program like Notepad in Delphi, what would be the minimum installation requirements to get the program up and running on a computer that just had Windows freshly installed?

Windows 95+ (Including all series).
That´s it. If the hardware can run Windows 95, then it can run your software too. (I already tested this!)
Maybe RAM. About 4MB of RAM should be enougth.
I have already run successfully a graphics intensive and very processor intensive software created with Lazarus on a 233Mhz computer with 32MB RAM running Damn Small Linux and Fluxbox. It was an osciloscope GUI, and it required all processing power to take measures from the hardware in a very precise time (no, I did not use Interruptions).
Wow! No framework or service pack installation! This is great!

If you use regular Delphi and VCL it can be anywwhere from 300-500K. If you use Delphi with KOL you can build a notepad clone which is about 40K-50K in size, which is smaller than the notepad that comes with Windows. Any program 40K-500K in size like this should work on a 486 66mHZ or pentium 75 or lower since it mainly relies on the operating system DLL's which are already in memory elsewhere. Delphi does not require any DLL's other than the operating system's for programs like this.
What are VCL and KOL? What is the difference between the two?
