What a killjoy! Tom it was a wish list after all from my personal experience on FreeDOS 1.0 with the unstable kernel where crashes were few and far between in standard mode, it seems possible if not practical. C'est la vie! FreeDOS is not my life, just something to obsess about, ironically

My reason for wanting to use Windows 3.1 in  FreeDOS is for some very specific apps (yes among them are a couple of bible programs) and just having access to some utilities such as Winimage Winzip, etc. That said, since 1993 I have always had Compaq DOS/Windows 3.1 on at least one of my PCs
