Hi! Ed,

On Thu, 03 Oct 13, you wrote to me:

Within the Win 3.xx versions, no, there isn't much difference.  I tried
installing it, a couple of times, into a vBox config but I couldn't get
past first base.

Yes, it started that way.  My multi-config (MS-DOS 5/6) Config.Sys &
AutoExec.Bat had multiple bootups for running with or without WFWG.  (BTW,
for a short while I was running WFWG on MS-DOS 7.00 [Win95's DOS], till I
found a way to break it.)

Nice question.  All I can recall was that we bought our 486DX33 & WFWG
in early (Jan/Feb) 1994.  I started the BBS in late '94 and made contact
with the Amiga guy in early '95.  He may have only just bought his as well,
as it looked fairly new.  I don't know for sure.

Cheers,
Paul.
