THE INSTALLATION OF WIN32S.
The WIN32S package for WINDOWS 3.11 is distributed by ftp.microsoft.com and
others, e.g. included with the Borland C++ compiler.
You have to unzip the file WIN32S.ZIP on the WIN32S diskette.
You need the program "pkunzip.exe". You can find this program on several
FTP-servers on INTERNET.
If you don't have the PKZIP programs, the unzip programs can be found on the
system disk. Put this disk in drive a: and copy pkunzip.exe to a temporary
work directory.
DO:
mkdir c:\temp
cd c:\temp
copy a:pkunzip.exe .
Thereafter put the WIN32S diskette in drive a: and unzip WIN32S
pkunzip a:WIN32S.ZIP
Now you will find two new directories: disk1 and disk2
See the readme file of Terry printed below and follow his instructions.
This program is Win32s version 1.1.5a. It allows you to run 32-bit
Windows applications, which do not use Windows NT-specific features,
under Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups. Mosaic v2.0 alpha4 is
a 32-bit application and requires the win32s software. If you already
use other 32-bit Windows applications then you already have this
software installed in your /windows/system/win32s directory. Since
Microsoft recently released this version we recommend you upgrade
to this latest version of the Win32s software.
Unzip the file w32s115a.zip onto two floppies or into an empty directory.
Use -d extension so the unzip utility will put the files in their proper
directories. For example:
pkunzip -d w32s115a
From the program manager select File, Run... and type in the path of the
setup program. For example:
c:\temp\disk1\setup
After Win32s has installed itself you will given an option to install a
32-bit card game called Freecell. Freecell is a really cool solitary game
and running it is a good way to test your computer.
Win32s was developed by Microsoft and it is freely distributed to licensed
users of Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups.
NOTE WIN32s is not supported by MicroSoft. Some Windows 3.11 configurations
conflict with the NT or the 95 model.
