- Actually, they should run fine on Win3.0, as long as you run it in
- real mode; that capability wasn't removed until Win3.1. As far as
- running them under Win95 or Win3.1x (or Win3.0 in Enhanced or Standard
- mode for that matter), simply run them the same way you would from
- DOS: under the Windows runtime they normally came with (you could use
- a full version of Windows 1.0-3.0 just as easily if you don't have a
- runtime version or want to run several of them at once). After all,
- an old real-mode version of Windows will run just fine under Standard
- or Enhanced mode Windows (and yes that does mean you can run Windows
- 3.0 under itself; one of the things wrong with Win3.0, in fact, was
- that it was too easy to do that by accident).
-
- Yes, I do agree that it would have been nice if they had put in the
- ability to run the old programs side-by-side with the new ones within
- the Windows environment rather than requiring you to run them within a
- DOS session, thus losing full clipboard integration among other
- things, but you could hardly say that the old software was "made
- useless" as the original poster averred.
