Uh, that would be like illegal or something.

Try eBay.

I have been told in the past that WIN 3.1 came before WIN 3.11 and only the correct operating system disks have the options and bare file system needed for WFW.
The downloads are mutated forms of these disks rarely duplicate.

Windows 3.11 was a minor update to Windows 3.1 and has nothing to do with WFW 3.11 which is an entirely different thing. I don't recall if there was a free update from 3.1 to WFW or not, but I don't think there was. As suggested above I would recommend checking eBay or your local used software dealer for it.

The Microsoft Client for MSDOS would probably work for you here

Win 3.x and wfw are widely available on the net. If you look hard enough you'll find them.

Wfw will install happily over win 3.1 keeping your existing setup intacked and add network functionality.

Okay, ignore everyones messages, go to my site at http://win31.hotusa.org and there is another link to download windows 3.1 and windows for workgroups, this link was provided to me by some nice person that i asked last week.

Hope that helped you..

And yes you can upgrade any version of WIndows 3.x to Windows for Workgroups.

You can trust what i say because i am qualified in ICT to Advanced Level.
