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.

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 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.
