- You are wrong. However you were probably confused because WFW DOES have some
- specific 32 bit code added that significantly enhances disk I/O. These 32 bit
- enhancements have been "borrowed" from one of the other 32 bit OS developement
- (Chicago/Win95 I think). WFW is basically an enhanced version of regular
- Windows 3.1.
