I've got the disks right here, and windows 3.11 IS wfws... will post
them if you have winzip. Why dont you just go on down to your local
computer store (i.e.) USED
and ask them 4 a copy.. take your own disks and give the guy five bucks
or so..

try it it'll probly work..

It sounds like you're trying to use the disks to install win 95 or something.
If so, just create the file WIN.CN_ on a floppy, and when it asks for the
install disks (Win 95 upgrade) point it to that floppy.

I know this works for Win 95 upgrade, don't know about Win 98.

There are TWO versions of Win3.11. One is NOT WFWG _and_ it runs
on a 286. It only has 32bit file access, but not with a 286 ;)
The other is WFWG and it requires a 386 or better plus it has
both 32bit file _and_ disk access.
