[A83] Re: windows programmation [OT]




Well, the Microsoft Windows 3.1 User's Guide says on page xvi:

"For 386 enhanced mode, a personal computer with a 386 processor (or higher)
and 640 kilobytes (K) of conventional memory plus 1024K of extended memory,
8 megabytes (MB) of free disk space (10 MB is recommended), and at least one
floppy disk drive.

"For standard mode, a personal computer with a 286 processor (or higher) and
640K of conventional memory plus 256K of extended memory, 6 MB of free disk
space (9 MB is recommended), and at least one floppy disk drive."


Enhanced mode is better than standard mode; it allows running of MS-DOS
programs within Windows and lets you run more programs at once. BTW, Windows
3.1 is so fun on newer computers, it loads in 4 seconds on my Pentium 90 :)
