DC> What's " WFWG 3.11 "?   (Though I think I can guess!)  

 ml> Windows For WorkGroups... it simply included networking capabilities
 ml> via NETBIOS... it may have also worked with a few others but i don't
 ml> recall... it is the most likely father of OS/2 and win9x... 

 DC> I keep forgetting that version...  From what you wrote, it's an

pretty much, yes... there are/were only a few things different and/or added
to give the networking capabilities and they were pretty much limited to
"within" windows... many of us did what we could to load
networking stuff before loading windows so that the network was available
no matter what shell we were running under...

 DC> As it is, I've never run Win 3.x  I started off with Win95   

you dunno what you missed ;)
