    From poindexter FORTRAN@21:4/122 to All on Mon Feb 26 12:31:30 2024

    Having issues getting Windows 3.1 to fit on a floppy disk? In a RAM disk? Worry no more!

    All kidding aside, the root site has a lot of information on it...

    There was a small typo in the link (double 'n' in win31):

    I am not sure I've personally ever even considered fitting Windows 3.1 on a floppy, but somehow I am very glad to know where to find the information to do it.

    That Geocities Politalk site looks like another great source of useful DOS/Win3.1/Win95/98 info - thanks for sharing!
