- 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.
