"Windows for Workgroups" v3.11 will work with Warp v3 red spine,
except for the networking features. The WfWG network support uses
VxD drivers which aren't permitted in OS/2 (or WinNT either, and
for the same reason; they represent a serious compromise of
system stabiltiy).
OTOH, regular Windows (not-for-Workgroups) v3.11 will not work
with any version of OS/2. It has been speculated that this was
one of Microsoft's intentions in releasing this "update" as it
otherwise provided no additional features or functionality over
Windows v3.1.
If you're unsure which version you have, check the "Help...About"
option in one of the core Windows programs (eg, Program Manager,
File Manager, etc.) and it should tell you. Otherwise, the
Windows "splash screen" that displays when Windows is loading
also will show this information.
