(Real Mode was removed so it couldn't run on a PC or XT.) And on that 286 running Win 3.1 you can install Internet Explorer 5.01 16bit that comes complete with a TCP/IP stack and a dialer. Jolly fun, eh? So of course that same version of IE will run on Windows For Workgroups 3.11 on a 386. This version had Standard Mode removed so it required a 386 or later. It also had 32bit disk and file access. Combined with Win32s it can run some Windows 95 programs. (Most mid 90's apps that said Windows 3.1 or 95 were Win32s programs.) There are some relatively unknown Win 3.xx versions. Windows 3.11 still ran on a 286 but included 32bit disk access (or was it file access?) for a 386 and later. There was also the extremely short lived Windows for Workgroups 3.1, which was 386+ only. To further confuse things, there was also Workgroups For Windows 3.11 to add the Workgroups networking functionality to Windows 3.11. I've never found out if that would run on a 286. ;) ===== It's total Fandemonium! http://www.fandemonium.org __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at Yahoo!
