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

Nothing to add, but all the more reason to reject proprietary formats

Yes. Apparently there's enough difference with a 16 bit program (written for 
Windows 3.1) not to install with CrossOver Linux.

Is there any Linux based program that will allow me to view my .drw files?

it in Wine.

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