OS/2 FOR WINDOWS COMPATIBILITY WITH MICROSOFT WINDOWS 3.11 Q'S AND A's
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. What is this code and why would I want it?
This code is necessary to allow OS/2 2.1 for Windows to
interoperate with Microsoft Windows 3.11. This code is not
needed by customers who have OS/2 systems or customers
who have OS/2 for Windows systems but who do not have the
3.11 level of Windows. This code is also necessary for
OS/2 2.1 for Windows to interoperate with Windows for
Workgroups 3.11. However, applying this update does not
make the Windows for Workgroups networking functions
available to the OS/2 for Windows environment.
2. What does this code do?
This code modifies OS/2 code to allow it to interoperate
with Microsoft Windows 3.11.
3. How does this code install?
This code installs on OS/2 2.1 for Windows by typing
"A:install."
4. Do I have to have Windows 3.11 installed already?
Yes: either Windows 3.11 by itself or Windows for Workgroups
3.11.
5. If I install this code on OS/2 for Windows, can I still
use Windows 3.11 from DOS?
Yes. For example, if you have a dual boot or boot manager
system, you can run Windows 3.11 from DOS just as you did
before you installed this code on OS/2 for Windows.
6. Does this code upgrade my Windows 3.1 system to Windows 3.11?
No. This code modifies OS/2 for Windows.
7. Does this code affect my Windows for Workgroups function?
No. The networking functions of Windows for Workgroups 3.11
are available via OS/2 for Windows's dual boot capability
to the native DOS and Windows for Workgroups environment.
Applying this update does not make the Windows for Workgroups
networking functions available to the OS/2 for Windows
environment.
8. If I install this code, will I see performance changes
in running Windows 3.11 under OS/2 for Windows?
We have not measured the performance of running Windows 3.11
under OS/2 for Windows versus running Windows 3.1 under
OS/2 for Windows.
9. Why did not OS/2 2.1 for Windows support Windows 3.11 when
OS/2 2.1 for Windows was released?
Availability of Windows 3.11 occurred after the availability
of OS/2 2.1 for Windows.
10. What happens if I try to use Windows 3.11 from OS/2 for
Windows without installing this update first?
You will get a SYS 3176 error message that will tell you
"A program in this session encountered a problem and
cannot continue." Your system will not trap or hang.
You will be able to recover and perform other functions
in the OS/2 for Windows environment.
11. Which National Language Versions of OS/2 2.1 for Windows
does this update apply to?
National Language Versions of this update code are provided
for the following National Language Versions of OS/2 2.1
for Windows
Danish (WIN311DK)
