Well, Netscape Communicator 4.08 has the built-in email client Netscape Messenger as well as the webpage editor Netscape Composer. Internet Explorer 4 and 5 also come with Outlook Express for email. For browser downloads, head to the Windows 3.1 Web Browser page in the Windows 3.1 section of my website. For webpage creation, you could also try AOLPress. Shouldn't be too hard to find. (I don't remember where the download link is) I don't know about RAR, but you can get WinZip 6.3 (the last 16-bit version) also on my Windows 3.1 section. (I'm not sure if www.winzip.com has it anymore.) Hope that helps!

Thanks alot for your help so far..im very familiar with you web page as i visit it frequently but never knew u had such usefull apps as i didnt till now decide i missed the stuff from win9x so much. i lvoe you screenshots also..how did u take them? i liek how u made win2k look like xp ..i use xp on my desktop and must say that it is very accurate! to bad we cant find a winxp theme for calmaria! that would rock! maybe one of these days hehe cya alters and guys feel free to post more ideas! laters :o) PressAnyKey

PressAnyKey, i dont know if there is a version of winRAR for win3.x, but there is a DOS version that will run under 3.x...as soon as i'm done writing this i will E-mail the rar4dos.zip archive to ur inbox...its about 245kb compressed... HTH... N1

I just used the "Print Screen" (or "Print Scrn") key, then pasted the image into an image editing program, usually MS Photo Editor. (Which came with Ofice 97) Also, I found that AOLPress download if your are interested in trying it: http://www.brgzell.salzburg.at/download/Aolpress/AolPress/aolprs20.exe

Thanks for continuing to give input gus and thanx for all the links and emails u have sent i really appreciate it and feel free to post more if you find ne thing! laters :o) PressAnyKey

I don';t think that scroll mouses would work wit 3.x, only on 98-
