This has been stated before but here goes again! The list that Microsoft has
is NOT a list of 200+ applications that WON'T run on WIN95 but a list of 2500+
applications that WILL. I'm positive of that because I downloaded the list
from their web site and will gladly E-Mail you and anyone else a copy of this
list if you ask. Please get your facts straight!

Don't count on it.  Ask Microsoft about their list 200+ Win16 apps
that don't work under Win95.  It can't run my friend's Turbo C++ 3.0
unless reboot to MS-DOS mode.  It's just a text mode DOS program, no
sound, no graphic, no DOS extender.
