The number one reason
to upgrade to Windows 95 (or 98) from Windows 3.x is for more stability... well,
nine times out of ten. But what happens when you've got an old 16-bit application
that refuses to behave in Windows 9x? Click the Start button, select Run, type
"MKCOMPAT" (without the quotes) and hit Enter. This should launch an applet
that will enable you to "make" an older application more compatible with Windows
9x. NOTE: this should only be used with 16-bit programs, not newer 32-bit ones.
If you're not sure of the difference between the two, don't use this applet.
