- It will not run on Windows 3.0, 3.1, 3.11, Win32s, Windows for Workgroups, or
- Windows NT 3.5 or 3.1. (all the preceeding are trademarks or registered trademarks of
- the Microsoft Corporation).
-
- An actively running connection to a network using a Windows
- Sockets (or compatible) link is suggested. Network cards to TCPIP networks are OK and
- dialup connections to internet providers are OK. If you use dialup, you
