There are a host of freeware programs that allow you to temporarily
exit virtually all of win 3.1 but a small stub giving you, I believe,
a dos session in real mode. When you exist the dos session win 3.1
automatically restarts -- probably a bit quicker than a full restart,
because the stub is already loaded.
Arachne may well run in this kind of dos session. This procedure is the
rough equivalent the win 9x option, ``restart in MS Dos mode''. There
is also a way to use a batch file and a freeware program whose name
escapes me right now to exit win 3.1, automatically go to a entirely
real dos program, and when the program (e.g., arachne) ends, the freeware
program restores win 3.1 automatically, including any open windows with
word processors or whatever that were going in your session.
Perhaps if one just had to initially boot to win 3.1, such methods would
be of interest.
