Win32s OLE-enabled -- Many applications have started to make use of this library extension from Microsoft. Win32s installs into the system directory of Windows and allows Windows 3.x users to run 32-bit applications. Applications that now require Win32s include Mosaic, VMPEG Lite, MPEGPlay, WebWizard 32, WS-FTP 32, WinQVT 32, WinVN 32, Whois 32, Sesame, and a few others. Win95 and Windows NT users won't need Win32s for running 32-bit applications. It is generally a good idea to first install the Win32s library before installing any 32-bit applications; however, most of the time it usually works in the reverse manner as well. Also, Win32s 1.25 will not work with OS/2 as of yet; the newest version that will work with OS/2 is Win32s 1.15. Pros: If you have Windows 3.x and want to run 32-bit apps, this is a must-have client Cons: Win32s sometimes causes installation problems, Win95 and NT users won't need New: No obvious new features in version 1.30a Version Reviewed: 1.30a Date of Review: 10/20/95 Reviewer: Forrest Stroud

I noticed there is no "indepth" of what the program will do for me.... I need something,for Win 3.1, to cover up DOS 6.21 and enable me to use MORE than three letter extensions. I have a need to be able to upload HTML files as ".html" as opposed to ".htm" for a web site (the site can't see .htm!) Of course, DOS, in Win 3.1, does not allow more extension characters than three..... help!!! My email address: bromine@pris.bc.ca
