Hi,
The message sent to you by Joseph was referring to the use of JFW version
2.00.29 in Windows 3.1. You will not be able to install Windows 95 or 98
on the hardware you indicate, and you will not be able to run the latest
version of JFW, version 3.2, on that hardware. It is highly recommended
even for JFW 2.00.29 under Windows 3.1, that you have at least 8 MB of
RAM, and 16 MB is much better as Joseph indicated. You will just need to
have the necessary hardware to run the screen reader. Such software is
very intensive, and does require a good deal of computer resources.
Regards.
