 [ Quoting steve steffler to Scott Little ]
 ss>> applications written under DOS 6. As a matter of fact,
 ss>> Windows 3.1 is even capable of running some Win32 software,
 ss>> providing the right drivers are installed. What's your point again?
 SL> Win3.x does not run ANY Win32 applications AT ALL. Win3.x runs
 SL> Win32s apps, which is an extension.
 ss> Are they not considered one type of Win32 application?        If not,
 ss> I stand corrected.
Um, usually Win32 just refers to any 32bit Windows programs. Technically,
Win32 means true 32bit apps (NT,95,CE).
Win32s is an extension to Win16, and is a few thousand APIs short of '95's
Win32.
