Everything what need for basic works in Windows 3.11
__________________________________________________________
This section contains my experience using Windows 3.11
in a network environment. It includes everything necessary
for basic operations in Windows 3.11, all this programs
tested and proven to be functional. Unlike other servers,
it features only software I have personally used and vetted
as reliable solutions that I would recommend to others.

Microsoft Works 3.0, Word editor
..........................................................
Attention! I do not recommend installing Netscape 4.08,
Microsoft Media Player 5 beta, Xing Mpeg Player for
Wing, MS Word 6.0 and Win16-32 update. To maintain
the integrity and stability of your Windows 3.11, use only
programs that do not require installation or from this
section!!!
All programs here are fixed and tested by me many times.
Basically I created portable versions so as not to spoil
the settings of your Windows 3.11 except for those cases
where it is impossible to avoid software install.
..........................................................
My hint: for support Windows 3.11 USB Devices and Flash
Memory Cards, NTFS, FAT32 just use DOS drivers for it
from Drivers section here. If you don't have enough base
memory to run network and USB drivers, for example,
at the same time, use Qemm97 from here and use the
loadhi.com utility to moving everything from base memory
to extended memory from DOS before loading Windows 3x.
