Actually, you are right.  My choice of example was bad.  Win95 is an upgrade 
to Windows 3.1.  So in running Win95, you still need to keep Win31 disks 
around.  I guess I should have used another example.  Maybe Word Perfect. 
Substituting Word Perfect for Win31 in my example does make my example valid.
