On: The AARD Code and DR DOS (2021)

You wrote "Windows 3.1" twice there so I'm not sure exactly what you meant.

I deployed and supported 3.0, 3.1, WfWg 3.1, WfWg 3.11 and Win 3.11.

AFAICR after some 30y, none of them included Win32S as standard.

And no, I don't recall any earlier 32-bit binary or API support.

I think there were some dozen versions; 10 are listed here: https://www.classicdosgames.com/utilities/win9x.html

... and that does not include 1.0.

There's a bit of nuance in what I was saying.... I agree (and agreed) that Windows 3.1 didn't include Win32s. What it _did_ include, though, is direct support for Win32s in the form of PE executable detection and a hook for the (separately installable) Win32s PE loader.
