I've been looking up freeware(not shareware)
and drivers for windows 3.1(only!)

lots of 16bit apps are in 32bit installs or 32bit exe zip files!
any one know of a complete(or at least lengthy)
index of windows 3.1 programs
with out shareware and 32bit apps mixed with and in?

what bugs me is
I can help but think some one has already done this

wat say?

A google search would probably yeild what you want.

The main reason many come in 32bit exe zip files is that people have compressed them on more moddern machines which is where they have stored them now. Why not download them on a modern computer, unzip them and put them to disk's or cd's and then run them from Win3.1?

Also installing Win32s would be a good idea if you already haven't, as some progrmas require this to run.

The drivers tend to be a bit easy to find, if you know where to look, try driverguide.com or just googling the hardware name and any numbers, such as GDI65554 (a Cirrus Logic gfx card number).

some how I thought some one would say that...

I already said I was looking stuff up

and if you had ever used windows 3.1 to surf
you would know that driverguide does not
work right... try it yourself
sounds like you will be in for a suprise!

now realy...

I was speaking of any people here who might
know of or have windows 3.1 info&stuff(freeware&drivers etc...)
that I dont have or know of...

any one?

Now, really

Keep searching, it seems that only you are willing to meet your various conditions & constraints

I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil. I simply suspect that if Microsoft ever met up with the devil, it wouldn't need an interpreter

Plus walter I do have some drivers you probably don't have, because there for my hardware beleive it or not. Also my 3.1 machine has not been on the net because I've never been bothered to do it. Why waste time when my other machines can go straight onto there get what I need and then I transport the required files over.

Mebbe you already been here,

http://oldfiles.org.uk/lightspeed/m...

but it's a good 'jumping off' place for all things
win31 related..
(now i wan't actually implying that using win31
makes you *want* to 'jump off' a tall building...:)

cool!
nice to know that window 3.1 rocks in 200X!
heh

thanks for listing lightspeed
its a good page but...
it has way to many links to non windows 3.1
pages&stuff
I sent an email to him telling him of such things and he said there was nothing he could do about it.

the facts you point out are true
if I was using some othere os I would ...
not want use or need windows 3.1 programs

some people must not understand my post... I'll try again...

first lets clear this up...
I'm using dos&windows 3.1 right now
dont bug me about some os I dont have

I've been searching for
16bit windows 3.1 freeware programs
drivers and any thing else usefull
to windows 3.1

I was hoping there might be other people
who have archived windows 3.1 freeware& or drivers..
which I might have missed and dont have
or...
maby I've got stuff they dont
who knows!

as for people who dont like and or use
windows 3.1 dont go crazy just
disregard this post ok?

Funnily enough I do like win3.1 (all old versions) secondly if you don't give us a list how do we know what you've got so things can be shared?

at the windows 3.1 ROCKS! yahoo group
I stated the problem that windows 3.1 did programers seemed did not seem to have
a place to upload there latest works
here is what came of it
http://win31.no-ip.org/freeware/
so far I've been uploading files here
heh probably need a mirror eh?

it now contains windows 3.1 programs that
can be found no where else...
because I created & uploaded them

freeware is what I'm looking for & making
but...
I did create folders for shareware and abandonware because some seemed to be interested intrest in it

I created a windows 3.1 group for windows 3.1 programing
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/watle...
if you have any freeware programs that are not on the ftp already upload them to the groups file section

wat say

Okay Walter I apolagise for being angrey in my posts and sarcastic, I shall look and see if i have anything my self.

ok
just uploaded 5 more freware programs..
and one that is public domain
guess that counts as freeware...

if any of the programs I have uploaded
are shareware please let me know

I know there are windows 3.1 freeware programs that have not uploaded yet

see any usefull/interesting files on the 3.1 ftp?

I'm still wondering if any one here has stuff
that I dont...
?

I had 2 boxes or windows 3.1 software... i need to think where i put it... i'll do some digging around. I kept them cause I wanted to start a website and host win 3.1 stuff but never could find a host that would let me due to copyright stuff.

Give me a few days to look around and see if i can find it, I had a bunch of games I wrote in QBASIC for dos as well.

I updated and watz &
made a new screensaver from a wing project
http://win31.no-ip.org/freeware/scr...

I'm still looking for 3.x freeware
let me know wats up

I programme in Visual Basic 6.0 but I still use VB3 and VB4 16bit which are used for 16bit programming (Win3.11).

If you give me a list of the types of programs you are interested in I will see what I've got or can convert for Win3.11.

Keith.
