The following is part 05 of 06 of the ASCII text version of the
Microsoft Windows FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions). While some of you
may find this the best format, the more popular format is the WinHelp
file. These are posted simultaneously with the ASCII version to
comp.binaries.ms-windows.
You can obtain a copy of the WinHelp version as "faqwin01.zip" by ftp
from sonygate.sony.com [192.63.138.2], in /pub/comp.binaries.ms-windows.
It will also be placed on ftp.cica.indiana.edu once disk space permits.

7.3. Available Windows 3.x applications
========================================
The following sections list some of the applications available for Windows
3.x While it does not attempt to be a comprehensive list, it does attempt
to list the most popular commercial software packages and some selected
shareware. This is not intended to be a review, but, rather, an overview
of available titles. You should perform your own evaluation to determine
the software best suited to your needs.
All prices listed are U.S. list prices at time of compilation, and cannot
guaranteed to be correct.
If the application is available on another platform at better or at least
substantially the same level of development, a code indicating that is
shown in the header. Windows NT portability is not shown, as Windows NT is
not yet available, and while most major vendors have announced NT versions
of their software, very little concrete information is available.:
