Hi, forwarding a question from SF user banana29j. I myself
do not have Windows for Workgroups, so my 2006 comment was
about something said on the list back then. Maybe somebody
who does have that version of Windows can comment about the
status with 2017ish FreeDOS kernels? Of course other driver
issues also matter - for example 386enh mode take-over via
GEMMIS is not supported by open source EMM386 alternatives,
so WfW 3.11 will only work with suitable HIMEM alternatives
without EMM386. Also, it will only work if a small enough
amount of RAM is present: Windows gets confused otherwise.
Thanks for commenting! Regards, Eric
