 Nothing to add, but all the more reason to reject proprietary formats
 that lock up your work. -ds

In this particular case, the argument is moot, as at the time of windows 
3.1 few people even knew Linux existed. I didn't, for instance. Nor was so 
much software available for it as nowdays.

 Have you tried installing your program (if you still have the disks) under
 Wine on Linux?

Probably not.  However, if you still have that app, you may try running 
it in Wine.
