 PL> Brian,
 PL> Your post came to me via Netmail,

 PL> an operating system, simple.  It's no longer made!!!
 Which isn't quite the same thing as not being available. I know of several
 places where you can still get a Windows 3.x license. I wouldn't be at
 all surprised to hear Microsoft saying that they don't produce/sell
 (or support) 3.x anymore. But that doesn't mean that software companies
 have stopped developing for it.
 PL> Your not being mislead, but if a setup is no longer available they are

 PL> compatible has to be just that, they want to sell Win 95, and after
 PL> this year Win 98, and so forth...
 Not entirely true either. Many 3.x apps will run under 95, and
 purportedly some apps for 95 will run under 3.1 even though they
 aren't touted as such. (I can personally attest to the former if
 not the latter.) I agree that they usually will list the *minimum*
 OS level required to run the game, though, and if you don't see
 "Windows 3.x" shown, it's a fairly good bet that you will have
 trouble running the product under that "OS."
... Pardon me, but would you have any Blue Poupon?
