For instance, I run Eudora Pro 32bit, WS-FTP 32, and am beta testing Agent .99d 32 ; on WFW 3.11 with the 32 bit extensions installed. I have no problems with any of them. However many 32 bit apps stubbornly look for Windows 95 or NT, not merely 32 bit capabilties. There is nothing you can do about this that I know of except get those OSs. A notable example of this type of program is Netscape 32. I am still forced to run the 16 bit version. You can get the Win32s extensions (make sure to get version 1.30a) at the Strouds or Tucows Home Pages. Brian brysmith@cris.com (Text and/or Voice E-mail)
