Hello Paul - 

CA>> I can turn my machine off with W31 running and turn it
CA>> right back on again and reboot W31. Nothing gets damaged
CA>> unless the hard drive is active when I do it of course. My
CA>> W31 is not "... your father's" W31. 

PW> That's why I tend to call the w3.1 install on this box w3.5 

PW> It's a nice demented mix of w3.1, win32s 1.30.172, and some
PW> of the win32r stuff from '95a. 

Reading about Win95 first release does give the impression many
of the binaries would work with W31. I have no early Win95 here
to experiment with but the thought has crossed my mind (several
times). 

PW> Good thing it's backed up on tapes as I couldn't recreate
PW> it if I tried. 

Yes, my own modified W31 would be difficult to redo if I lost
my only copy. I have it burned to CD now and sleep better
knowing that. :-)
