I was playing with Win32s and, although it is very limited, it is funny. I was trying to execute an app anbd i got "Win95 or NT needed". I know if it is displaying that message it is probably because Win95 or NT is needed, but it rembered me of an app I've downloaded once but the site I got it went offline, I lost the file and when i try searching in google it gives me tons urelated sites.
The little program is called winlie, I think. It lies about windows version to programs, making them think they are in a version, and it fools Win32 progs too, making them think they are under Windows 95 or above.
If someone knows where to get it please tell me where

It is a NT/2K/XP program. It is not the one I need in 3.11 but it shure will help me running some 9x games tht detect and refuses to work in XP (and I have many :-).
The following text was extracted from "Stephan's Win32s compatibility list" (stephan.win31.de/w32slist.htm):

For further enlightenment I've cited from various posts from Paul Chitescu (hope he doesn't mind):

Top reasons why a 32-bit applications won't run on Win32s :

. * They use fixed address that are unavailable in Win32s
. * The installer wants NT or 9x - but there are solutions ...
. [see his user page's software directory]
. * Use multithreading (but 95% of them dont' really need MT)
. * Use functions implemented in IE4 - 32bit
[Active Desktop or the Windows Scripting Host, for example]
. * Are linked to Win32 specific thunking code
. * Are linked to Win9x specific DLL ordinals

I got winlie from Paul Chitescu user page's software directory, but now the link is broken
