- Pr4win32.exe is a true 32-bit version of pr4win. It is completly written
- in Microsoft visual C 4.0 and will run under Windows95 and Windows
- NT 3.51.

- with Windows 3.1 in enhanced mode (Win 95, WINNT 3.5 or OS/2).
-
- You will also need a KISS-Mode-able TNC like PK232, TNC2, TNC3,
- MFJ1296 ...
-
- #pr4w32.exe (#pr4w16.exe) are self-extracting archives. If you start
