Win32s is a red herring here, : being some sort of Microsoft marketing trick, designed to make Win 3.11 : users feel better :-) I'll agree that Win32s is part marketting designed to make developers feel more comfortable about targetting Win32, but it does have some value to Win3.1 users. You can take an existing Win16 app and port to Win32s quite easily. The resulting app may run significantly faster since far pointers and other performance killers have been removed.
