I've got DR-DOS 7.03 (I think its .03) adn Windows 3.1 runs fine for me,
too, on DR-DOS. I've also had some experience with W3.1 on IBMs PC-DOS and
from ver 5.0 to 6.x to 7.0 it runs OK on everything I've tried, AND my IBM
thinkpad 701c came pre-loaded with OS/2 warp 3 AND Win3.11 loaded over
PC-DOS 6.3 and everything there worked fine, too.
