Hi CHARLES ANGELICH, hope you are having a nice day

PW>> It's a nice demented mix of w3.1, win32s 1.30.172, and some
PW>>of the win32r stuff from '95a. 
CA>Reading about Win95 first release does give the impression many
CA>of the binaries would work with W31. I have no early Win95 here
CA>to experiment with but the thought has crossed my mind (several
CA>times). 

 Some parts will, others take a little work. To get the wnhlp32.exe
to run you have to pull a couple of fast ones both in hexediting
some references to winhelp.exe as well as going into the registry
and changing some entries.

PW>> Good thing it's backed up on tapes as I couldn't recreate
PW>>it if I tried. 
CA>Yes, my own modified W31 would be difficult to redo if I lost
CA>my only copy. I have it burned to CD now and sleep better
CA>knowing that. :-) 

 Redoing the dll's wouldn't be that hard, but trying to remember
all the changes to them and to the registry...
