For shame! WfW was 3.11,
3.1.1, IIRC
actually, there was a 3.10 and 3.11 release of Windows for Workgroups. The 3.11 release introduced the use of 32 bit protected mode implementation of the network stack and file system via extensive use of VxD drivers, and set the stage for Windows95 where almost the whole OS kernel ran in VxD space (prior versions used 16bit realmode IO components from MSDOS).
Anyone ever see wabi running win3.1 under Linux?? THAT was a show stopper. It came with Caldera's releases. Mighty nifty it was. Ric
I don't think I ever ran Wabi on Caldera, but did on SCO OpenServer 5.0.x.
Whatcha doin' over here Ric? Normally I see you on the linux-sxs list.
I fled my harsh mistress Fedora! It's not a platform to try and do devel work on, or as a server. I need the quiet sedate life where things work today like they did yesterday. <grins> I'll certainly live longer. No clue how, why or who, but Xvfb refused to work with F7 and with CentOS it works like a charm, out of the box, with java.net's Wonderland program. No clue why, but if it breaks in the future, I'll know where upstream it came from. <cackles> Ric
