- You can't get there from here (until the end of the year, anyway).
- The currently shipping version of WinOS2 only supports up through
- Windows 3.0. The Applets that came with your Windows 3.1 software
- are, naturally enough, Windows 3.1 applications (which are later than
- Windows 3.0 applications). The Windows 3.1 support for OS/2 is
- expected to ship production by the end of the year (it is in Beta test
- right now).
-
- I could have sworn there was something in the installation
- instructions about this.
