- Well, I have Windows for Workgroups 3.11 (with Win32s 1.25) AND
- Windows 95 AND Windows NT server 3.51 (I develop software and burn
- through a lot of CPU cycles testing routines) all running
- interchangably on ONE 32-megabyte RAM system. All I do is use WIN NT's
- bootup selector to choose NT or the other Windows, and hit F4 when
- Win95 tries to start to launch WFW 3.11. It's prolly not quite as
- simple this way as it could, but I have had not the first glitch. The
- only quibble (and it's really more of a nitpick) is that I must reboot
- to switch OSes, but that's par for the course, to coin a cliche...
-
- The only real concern is if you decide to do a multi-OS configuration
- with Windows of any version is to install each to a separate
- directory.
-
- Also, if you copy all non-system DLLs and VBXes from your windows and
- win system directories into your Win95 and Win95 system directories,
- you can run any Win 3.x software withOUT having to reinstall any of
- them!
-
- For what it's worth...
