"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.
